see I had always thought they were color blind but I think color blind only means perception of color is off? Im not really sure. I have tested it though and it is only red things. Not everything red though and usually only if it is something on the floor. Like I had a pair of fuzzy red slippers that would freak her out. She would go as far away as she could to cross the room and move real slow and low to the floor until she got past them then she was ok. That was kinda the same thing she was doing with the hat. It was like she was testing it to see if it would hurt her. It is really funny to see but also makes me wonder why red?

We had a cat that was afraid of the ceiling fan. We wouldn't have it on during the winter months but every spring when we turned it on, she'd freak out. It always took her like a month to get used to it again. She'd push her body as close to the floor as she could and literally crawl across the room as fast as she could to get away from the fan.
