Why do people make multi-colored cat & dog toys, if cats & dogs are colorblind?

Are people really that unamused that they need the color for themselves? Hehe

They aren’t completely colorblind. They see colors like we would at dusk. Not much but a little. That may be why the toys are so brightly colored.
I guess so!
so yo aszz buys them!
So we’ll be attracted to them and buy them for our pets.
because it is people who buy the toys.
Yup, the colors are so that us humans will buy them.
Have you ever seen a black&white photo? You can’t really see the colors, but you can tell the difference. I guess it’s the same with dogs and cats. Even though they’re colorblind, they can probably see shades.
cats and dogs can see color, just not the way we do. it’s more muted and their spectrum is far smaller than our own. they can see shades at least. plus, who would want a bunch of brown or black toys laying around their floor?
good question! Maybe because if all the toys were black it would be boring!
Because it’s people who pick them off the store shelves & pay for them, not the pets.
Pet toys are for PEOPLE, not animals.
Dogs will fetch a stick.
Cats will play with yarn.
They don’t need expensive toys to entertain them, just attention.
Same for kids, actually.
But where there’s profit to be made and a sucker to exploit, hullo, capitalism!
CONTRARY TO WHAT YOU’VE HEARD, YOUR DOG AND CAT DO SEE COLOR. THEY CAN SEE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN BLUES AND REDS, YELLOW AND GREENS. BUT THEY HAVE TROUBLE WITH PURPLE AND BROWN AND LIGHT REDS AND GREYS . . MUCH LIKE A COLOR-BLIND PERSON.
So the answer is they make the toys coloured for the cats and dogs and to make them appealing to the owner as well.
Well 1) the color helps show what the thing is supposed to be. Ex. The Mailmen or Dog Catcher. With out color it is just dull. I Truthfully do not believe Dogs/cats/bulls ETC. Are Color Blind because Bulls are vicious around red and my friends dog HATES black people(NO OFFENSE) and Some Cats Are Vicious Around Certain Colors.
reason #1: the ppl who make em arent smart enough
reason #2: we are the pets of the markets n they try to keep us amused
People wouldn’t choose a drab toy to buy. It’s for the People that will buy the toy not the animal itself!
