Can cats see in color? The opinion is a divided issue between experts over the extent to which cats can see colors. Although they certainly do not have anything remotely close to the color perception of humans, many owners can testify that they certainly have some means of distinguishing some colors. It is thought that cats can distinguish between red, blue, and white, but green, yellow and white all appear gray. In a cat’s use of its sight, it may be that movement is the dominant factor and color is not all that important. And even though cat’s eyes, or irises rather, come in a wide variety of colors, for example, red, blue, green, and gold, it bears no particular relevance to the cat’s ability to see.
