No, they are not color blind. They see some colors, but not all colors. And they see colors differently than humans do.

Cats seem to be able to distinguish between higher frequency colors, meaning cats respond to the colors purple, blue, green and possibly yellow range. Red, orange and brown colors appear to fall outside cats color range and are most likely seen as shades of grey or purple.

Purple, blue and green appear to be the strongest colors perceived by cats. Tests suggest cats can distinguish between more shades or levels of gray than can humans.

What if Mary and her mother are both colorblind is Mary's father colorblind too?

If Mary's mother is colorblind, and therefore carries the colorblind gene on one of her X chromosomes, then Mary would inherit that gene as well. If Mary's father is colorblind, he would have to pass on his X chromosome with the colorblind gene to Mary, making her colorblind too. If only Mary's mother is colorblind, Mary's father is likely not colorblind.

Not necessarily. The allele for colorblindness is recessive. For a female, in order to be colorblind she must have to recessive alleles for colorblindness. Example: XcXc would be colorblind. XCXc would be a carrier for colorblindness, but not colorblind. For a male, because colorblindness is a sex-linked gene, he only needs one allele to be colorblind. Example: XcY is colorblind. XCY is not colorblind.
