Last year, we noticed that our cats preferred blue and yellow toys, but would largely ignore orange or red colored items. That got us thinking... How do we know which colours (colors) dogs and cats see? - Science and testing:
To
help keep our cat's Food and water bowl areas clean, we applied animal colour
vision theory preference to Mew-Ji and Jack-Jack's placements:
Just like their favourite toys, animals were more likely to sit near a food mat when placed in a new location if it was a colour that stood out to their eyes more: Items in shades of Yellow and Blue!
Interested to learn more about the science behind animal vision and how it differs from our own? Here's some further reading:
