Calming effect
These colours calm cats
The preferred colours in veterinary clinics are blue and violet, their pastel shades and the pastel shades of green, purple and yellow. And not without reason. Blue and purple are the most calming colours for cats. It is now known that these colours actually reduce your cat's stress levels. It is precisely because of this stress-reducing effect that these colours and shades are preferred in veterinary clinics and modern veterinary practices.
We generally recommend using an 'Easter Colour Palette' (pastel shades) if you are looking for colours that will please and calm your cat. For example, a pastel green blanket is certainly a good idea for an exciting visit to the vet, which is why we at Albanine & Knuffl® only use blue and the colours of our own pastel 'Easter Colour Palette'.
