Why Cats See the World Differently: The Story Behind Colorful Cat Products
Share
It all began on a quiet weekend afternoon when I finally received the long-awaited delivery: a cat tree I had carefully picked out for my beloved cat, Lucay. Excited, I couldn’t wait to see his reaction to the new gift.
However, when I brought the cat tree to Lucay, he showed no reaction at all. Oh no! This was the complete opposite of what I had imagined. Just as I was feeling disappointed, I noticed a sudden change in Lucay—his eyes seemed to light up as if he had spotted something, and he quickly ran toward me. "Oh my goodness, he finally noticed the special gift I prepared for him!" I thought.
To my surprise, Lucay didn’t head toward the cat tree. Instead, he ran straight to my feet and started pawing at my socks! I was utterly confused. I even sniffed my socks to check if there was some unique scent on them, but there was none. As I pondered the reason, a thought struck me: Could it be the color of my socks? I was wearing green socks that day.
Abandoning any interest in the cat tree, I became determined to figure this out. After scouring the internet, consulting ChatGPT, and speaking with my veterinarian friend, I finally found the answer: Cats don’t see colors the same way humans do. Unlike our ability to see a full spectrum of colors based on red, green, and blue, cats can only perceive shades of green and blue and hint of yellow. This meant my guess was correct—Lucay was drawn to my green socks because of their color!
This revelation sparked a bigger question in my mind: If cats’ perception of color is so different from ours, why are so many cat products designed with colors cats can’t even see? My veterinarian friend explained that these products are made for humans to purchase, and naturally, they cater to human aesthetics.
Oh no! This realization hit me hard. It meant that many of the items I had lovingly purchased for Lucay weren’t things he truly enjoyed. I felt disheartened.
Unwilling to accept this, I reached out to a local factory specializing in pet products. After sharing my thoughts, they were astonished by the idea and agreed to collaborate on creating “colorful products designed specifically for cats.” Although crafting these items by hand would be time-intensive, the thought of bringing joy to more cats made it all worthwhile.
