Cats' preferences are not only about food and toys. If caretakers want to take better care of cats, they need to put more thought into them and care about them in all aspects, especially paying attention to some daily details. For example, what kind of colors do cats like? Which colors do they prefer?

When analyzing the colors cats like, we need to start from their vision. Cats are naturally very sharp-sighted; even in very low light or at night, they can clearly distinguish distant objects. Moreover, cats actually prefer darker environments, as they feel safer in such surroundings. When the daylight is too strong, a cat's pupils automatically close to a thin slit to avoid excessive light intake. However, in dark environments, their pupils automatically dilate widely to maximize light transmission. The dilation and contraction of a cat's pupils is as rapid as a camera shutter. This ensures that during fast movements, cats can quickly and accurately adjust their vision and focus according to the intensity of external light and the distance of viewed objects to see clearly.

Actually, in our daily life, it is well known that dogs and cats are naturally colorblind (or can be described as severely color weakened). Cats have poor color perception and do not have any particular preference for colors. However, scent is indeed the most sensitive sense for cats. Especially kittens do not have like or dislike for colors; they only show a preference for scents.

If we have to mention colors, cats can see blue, yellow, purple, green, and so on. But they cannot see brown, red, or orange. The colors cats see are like black to grayscale. The color saturation they perceive is relatively low, so the colors in their field of vision are not as bright and vibrant as what humans see. It can be said that gray is the most common color cats see.
