Yes, cats can see the color purple.
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.

∙ 11y agoIt is possible to have purple eyes, and it can be caused by genetics. Genetics is the field of Biology that studies hereditary, the passing of genes from cats to kittens. Most genes are passed on from cats to kittens and this does determine eye color to some degree. The amount and type of pigment you inherit from your parents will definitely influence your eye color, pigments in the iris determines eye color. Purple eyes will most likely occur during the early kittenhood years because the melanocyte cells are still growing and they produce pigment.
It is possible to have purple eyes if you have had an injury to your eye. If you have blue eyes and have had an eye injury, purple eyes may appear due to the red blood vessels within the eyes. For example, red plus blue will equal purple. This change in eye color can occur if there is trauma to one or both eyes. Our bodies are constantly changing due to our hormonal and chemical make-up and sometimes an injury to the eye can change the color of the eyes. Remember, eye color can change without injury, disease or disorder.
It is possible to have purple eyes because an individual may have a disease or a disorder. Purple or violet eye color is a variation of blue eye color. Scientists and researchers have stated that the change of color in eyes is also caused by a condition called Albinism. Albinism is a disorder in which there may be a small amount or no pigment melanin in the iris. In most cases, the eyes are red, purple, or light blue. Heterochromatin is a disease in which one eye may change color. The human eye is a very complex organ and it is very possible to have purple eyes.

∙ 12y agoI did not think that cats could have purple eyes. Then I found a three weeks old kitten on my porch that was abandoned, it is an orange tabby with dark purple eyes that fade to light blue in the center. Looks freaky, couldn't believe it but it is totally true. They may change as she gets older, I really hope not.
