Yes, cats can see the color purple. Cats seem to be able to distinguish between higher frequency colors, meaning cats respond to the colors purple, blue, green and possibly yâ¦ellow range. Red, orange and brown colors appear to fall outside cats color range and are most likely seen as shades of grey or purple.
Cats can see quite well in light levels as little as 1/6 of what is required for humans to see well. They accomplish this largely via a tapetum lucidum, which reflects light passed through the retina back into the eye. They also have exceptionally large pupils for their body size. Cats also have some of the best hearing of any animal.
