Mercy Now[/color]]Nope DreamTime ...I checked a few sources .We can receive all bloodtypes but, of course,one's own type is preferred. Only other AB's can accept ours however.Here is a bit from wikipedia: 
Red blood cell compatibility

• Blood group AB individuals have both A and B antigens on the surface of their RBCs, and their [color="#0066cc"]blood serum[/color] does not contain any antibodies against either A or B antigen. Therefore, an individual with type AB blood can receive blood from any group (with AB being preferable), but can donate blood only to another group AB individual.
• Blood group A individuals have the A antigen on the surface of their RBCs, and blood serum containing [color="#0066cc"]IgM[/color] antibodies against the B antigen. Therefore, a group A individual can receive blood only from individuals of groups A or O (with A being preferable), and can donate blood to individuals with type A or AB.
• Blood group B individuals have the B antigen on the surface of their RBCs, and blood serum containing IgM antibodies against the A antigen. Therefore, a group B individual can receive blood only from individuals of groups B or O (with B being preferable), and can donate blood to individuals with type B or AB.
• Blood group O (or blood group zero in some countries) individuals do not have either A or B antigens on the surface of their RBCs, but their blood serum contains IgM anti-A antibodies and anti-B antibodies against the A and B blood group antigens. Therefore, a group O individual can receive blood only from a group O individual, but can donate blood to individuals of any ABO blood group (ie A, B, O or AB). If anyone needs a blood transfusion in a dire emergency, and if the time taken to process the recipient's blood would cause a detrimental delay, O Negative blood can be issued.

 

What I think is  odd is that in the US only 1% of the population is AB- yet ,in my experience, we seem to find each other.

 

Hmmm. I have AB blood type. I also found that it's the same blood type cats have. So does that make me cat man or something? I dunno ha ha.

It makes me think AB might be an exclusively Siran signature.  ???

Or something else maybe. You know I've been exploring the idea of the Jesus thing being much much older than we think. As in Ancient Egypt and the "gods" type old. You don't know where you're going if you don't know where you've been. I found a picture of "Anubis" with what was said to be his wife. In the picture,she was a cat being. Felonian I assume. since there's been so much talk of Lion like beings it kinda fits in my mind. Especially with the cat/blood type thing.

Anu, The info below is from the University of Cornell College of Veterinary Medicine.

******************************************************************

There are three blood types in cats: type A, type B, and the rare type AB. Almost all non-purebred cats from the United States have type A blood. Non-purebred cats with type B blood are much more common in other parts of the world. For example, over one fourth of Australian domestic shorthaired and longhair cats have type B blood.

Among pedigreed (aka "purebred") cats, the proportion with type A blood is mostly dependent on the breed. For example, 100 percent of Siamese cats have type A blood, but the percentage falls to about 40 percent in British Shorthaired; the remainder is either type B or AB. The other breeds tend to fall somewhere between these extremes. Your Persian kitten has about a 25 percent chance of having type B blood.
When a blood transfusion is needed
It's safest to give type A blood to a type A cat, and type B blood to a type B cat. But what if the donor's blood type doesn't match that of the recipient? Well, it depends. If type B blood were given to a type A cat (that had never received type B blood in the past), usually only a mild transfusion reaction would ensue - so mild that it may not even be noticeable over the short term. But if a type B cat were to receive type A blood, an extremely rapid, severe, and potentially fatal reaction would occur, even if just a few milliliters of blood were to be given.
Veterinarians don't usually emphasize blood typing non-pedigreed cats - they're almost all type A. Most donor cats aren't pedigreed either, so it would be highly likely for both donor and recipient to have the same type A blood. But many pedigreed cats have type B blood, so it is extremely important that people caring for these lovely creature know the blood type before a transfusion. Determining your cat's type is a simple procedure requiring only a few drops of blood in most cases-and it could be a real lifesaver should your cat ever need "the gift of life."

Interesting. either way they still have AB type,even if it's rare.
