Cats have three main blood types: A, B, and AB. Type A is the most common, with an estimated 94 to 99 percent of all domestic cats having it coursing through their veins. Type B is the second most common, and is usually found in exotic purebreds, if even then. The rarest is AB. Feline blood groups are determined by the presence or absence of certain antigens (proteins or sugars) found on the red blood cell membrane. The A-allele is dominant over the b-allele so that cats with genotypes A/A and A/b will be type-A, while only the homozygous b/b will have the type-B phenotype. A third type, AB, occurs rarely and expresses both the A and B antigens.
