If cortical development for color perception in the cat is similar to that for line orientation, a cat reared in an environment with only one color present (in this case, yellow) would most likely only be able to experience that color. This is because the neural circuits responsible for processing and perceiving different colors develop in response to exposure to those colors during critical periods in early life. If the cat is only exposed to yellow during this time, the neural circuits for processing other colors may not develop properly, leading to a limited ability to perceive those colors later on.
