paper around another put they put various colored papers around and they would show these to the cats and if you if you picked if you touch the colored jar with the nose or paw they would then give it a little treat little tiny fish and if they touch the gray jar they get nothing and so they did this over NUMBER_TOKEN months of a study and a hundred thousand recorded documented tries to see if the cats could figure out which one was the color one and which one the other like presumably they would just keep hitting the color ones so they keep getting the the fish and it turns out no it was a NUMBER_TOKEN NUMBER_TOKEN. it was basically is what they came out with it was just completely taking the same cats trying to be trained to do this i mean lots of cats obviously but a hundred thousand individual cats for the first time no no so you're training aren't cats smart cats are quite intelligent and but it turns out that that for the the odds they got was just NUMBER_TOKEN NUMBER_TOKEN which is the odds in the first place so they determined yes cats cannot see color they must be they must be colorblind or else they'd always pick the colored one and so this just became like accepted fact for a long time actually because of this study because i mean that's a big sample size it's not like they there was a small sample size they were dealing with but it turns out that this this seemed odd because it was you know his cats have the cones and rods so why can't they see color if that's a problem so of course there's been further studies and they looked at uh more recently they had like one study where they used electrodes and stuff on the brain to you know see observe what's happening in the cat's brain when they see different shades of colors and it turns out they the brain did respond and they they seem to be able to see the colors and then there's been further studies that have also showed that yes definitively cats can distinguish between colors and so but why why did this other study uh you know show something quite different uh and it's not really it's not really clear at all what happens with that study with us like yeah screwing with the researchers you know just being cats but yeah so that particular study has actually been repeated and it turns out that it was uh in the NUMBER_TOKENs it was and it turns out the cats they did find that yes they could eventually distinguish but what was interesting about it uh was that it took almost NUMBER_TOKEN tries per cat to learn which one to pick and then they once they learned it they could they did it and that seemed odd like you know like you say cats are smart why did it take them so long to figure it out um and it just it just kind of the the general ideas maybe that cats in their day-to-day lives don't really colors are kind of meaningless to them they don't really need to pay attention or something and so maybe they just don't whatever in their brain doesn't really look at it as something to to look at first you know and so it took a long time to train them or of course it could just be cats being cats and just like whatever i don't care gosh that is curious like something you think is so obvious to us almost the most basic of tests identifying different colors it's just irrelevant to a cat's brain yeah yeah it's just like i'm not going to look at that detail because it's
