Best Answer

It is thought that cats cannot see the color red.

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 a cat's 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.

Ok, thank you for actually answering my question whoever you are. I am buying a red cat stroller and was wondering if the color would scare them.

Cats, can distinguish between the low to mid light wave spectrum (higher frequency), meaning cats responded to the colors purple, blue, green and yellow range. Red, orange and brown colors appear to fall outside cats color range Cats are able to distinguish between blues and violets better than between colours near the red end of the spectrum.

However, colour is of little importance to cats. They hunt by the motion of their prey, not by its colour.

Cats have limited colour vision, and cannot see any part of the red colour spectrum at all. However, tests have revealed that cats can see yellows, greens and blues, with blue and violet hues being perceived the strongest.

Cats can see in very limited colour, but cannot differentiate between some other colours, so it doubtful they have a favourite. A cat's eyes is far more attuned to movement than to colour.

Cats have limited colour vision, and cannot see any part of the red colour spectrum at all, so it isn't possible for a cat to be afraid of the colour red.
