 Cats and dogs have very different blood grouping systems. Cats have an A-B blood group system and inherit blood types as a simple dominant trait where A is dominant over B.

-Both the blood donor and recipient should always be blood typed prior to transfusion. This is especially important in cats due to the occurence of alloantibodies. Commercial in house kits are convienient or reference laboratories often provide blood typing services.

 Group A cats have low titres of anti-B antibodies hence giving group A cats group B blood will cause destruction of red blood cells and a mild transfusion reaction.
 Group B cats have high titres of anti-A antibodies and giving group B cats type A blood can result in a potentially fatal transfusion reaction.
-Type AB cats do not have anti A or B alloantibodies and can recieve type A/B or A blood.
