They do not, like almost all mammals they are dichromatic! It’s mostly us and some primates that can see in three wavelengths. Although interestingly enough, fish and birds can see in four wavelengths. Makes me wonder if that contributed to smaller cats being mostly gray and black, to just reduce as much light as possible?
Do tigers themselves see themselves as orange, or are they genuinely surprised when humans easily spot them hiding in the grass?
My cats are surprised both by me seeing them sitting on an empty floor, and by other cats who they didn’t see sitting on the floor.
So I can only conclude the answer is semi-perpetual amazement.
