W: Welcome to our program, Dr Peterson. Let's see what questions we've got for you today. Here's one: Can cats see color?
M: Sort of. In the wild, many cats hunt at night because their eyes are designed for low light. Your cat can't see bright colors such as red and green. But it picks up more shades of blue, yellow, and grey than humans do.
W: And why do cats give dead birds to their owners?
M: When your cat drops a dead bird at your feet, she isn't bringing you a present. Most cats just drag food home because it's a safe place to eat. A cat's mom also brings home things to her children to help them practice hunting. So, a female cat without children may bring these "treats" to her owner instead. You may not like them, but at least you don't have to write her a thank-you note.
