There are three different blood types of cats: type A, type B and type AB. In cats, the gene that controls blood type A is dominant, while the gene that controls blood type B is recessive. Controlling AB blood type is a special case, and the genes controlling it are inherited independently.

Feline blood type distribution characteristics:

1. Cat blood type A is very common. It can be said that most cats around us have type A blood. It is said that in the United States, More than 90% of cats have type A blood. Among the breeds, 100% of Siamese cats have type A blood, 90% of Himalayan and Maine Coon cats have type A, while half of Turkish Angora and Turkish Van cats have type A and half of type B.

2. The distribution of cat blood type B is not so uniform. It is common in some breeds and rare in other breeds. Abyssinian cats, Sphynx cats, German curly cats and Cornish curly cats are more common.

3. Type AB is a rare blood type no matter which breed it is, and it is only distributed in breeds with type B. So in life, even in the treatment of cats that require blood transfusions, the issue of blood type is not so obvious, unless your cat's blood type is very rare.
