Bappity Blur

I discovered something interesting while playing with my mom's cat Pumpkin.He enthusiastically chases the spot from an ultraviolet laser pointer, and actually prefers it to the spot from a red laser pointer.He not only chases the blue-violet dot more enthusiastically, he actually will refrain from chasing the red and wait for the UV dot again, if presented with the UV dot first. I can only assume that he has better sensitivity towards the blue end of the spectrum.I've heard that dogs can't see the color blue, and I wonder if that could be tested this way.
