Cats are unique creatures! Every cat parent knows their pet's lovable quirks and individual personalities. But did you know...
Cats see color!
Despite what you may have heard, cats do see color. Their eyes have two rods that make them sensitive to shades of blue and yellow-green. This is exciting information if you are choosing a cat toy color!
Research at CatTamboo has shown that the color aqua is particularly visible to cats, so be sure to get an aqua-colored toy to really grab your furry friend's attention. It's our most popular color for CatTamboo™ interactive cat toys.
Why do cats like the color blue?
Blue is visually one of the easiest colors for cats to see. Cat's eyes are designed for the dark (they can see with only 1/6 the light we humans require!) and the wavelength of blue as a color penetrates the deepest into dark places.
Did you know?
Many deep water corals in the ocean use blue light for photosynthesis because it is the only wavelength of light that reaches them. Since a cat's eyes are tuned into low light, the color blue appears rich and vibrant to them, thus making the blue object very attractive!
