No they aren't! Although cats cannot see colours like us, they are not fully colourblind. They see the world in blues and greens but cannot distinguish the different shades of red.

They can see other a few other colours as well, just not too brightly. Lion's only see in black and white.

Cats can identify in the ranges of purple, blue, green, and yellow. Red, orange, and brown most likely appear dark or gray to them.

In addition, cats see things in much less saturation, meaning cats do not see things as intensively or vibrantly. Some studies have suggested that color is not very important to cats (possibly because of the "less saturation" bit, though that's purely a guess on my part). They can, eventually, learn to choose between different colors in order to obtain a treat, but they don't seem to grasp the concept very quickly.

Yes, most cats are bline for all of their life. This happened because as cats evolved to see in the dark, their eyes became very sensitive to light. With the invention of electricity and lights, this destroyes the eyes of cats, and now all cats are just born blind. It is unknown whether this evolutionary step can be rewinded to give cats back their sight.

Cats can go blind for several reasons. Old age could cause a cat to go blind as can injury t to the eye(s). Taurine, an amino acid, deficiency can also cause eye problems that can lead to blindness.
