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.

are cats color blind Many people think that cats are colorblind but this is not the case. It is true that cats do not see in the same way that most humans do, however thinking that they don’t see any colors at all is simply not true. Rather, cats are able to distinguish between blues and greens but lack the ability to distinguish shades of red.

cats will react to certain colors such as domesticated colors. or a certain color of brown of a feather. cats will recognize a color of something and react. however, if a cat can't recognize it it's behavior will change or it will attack the object.

i am a animal specialist and i did 20 years of training so i know this. i work with cats and all sorts of animals

cats also see things differently from humans they see lighter or a mix of color

so you just learned something. the guy at the top is wrong

Is a carrier for colorblindness is 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.
