As I recall, cat's vision was monochrome except for the very center of their vision, where they had limited (from our point of view) colour perception IE rather washed-out colours. They also had a sort of fish-eye effect, that magnified the centre of their field of view.

Not hard. For example: construct two pedals, one red, one green, of colour intensities so that they look identical in monochrome. Make the red one release a cat treat when pressed, the green one not. Watch what the cat does.
I'm sure the real tests are more sophisicated than this, but that's the principle.

our old rottie would go out in the van,when we stopped at traffic lights,she would sit forward,look at the lights,when they turned amber she would lean back,when they turned green she would push her self back ,she knew when they were going,anyway point is my dog has never told me what colour she can see in,so maybe i just dont have a talking dog!
We had a very good CD a while a go, it was a Dorling Kindersley one and it was a virtual museum about cats called if I recall correctly Cat, actually just had a look and we've still got it; but on that there's this bit where you could see things from a cats eye view, on that colours were visible but were very dull. We also have a Bird one!
