Cats with which blood type have naturally high levels of antibodies against blood type A, which can result in fatal allergic reactions if transfused with this mismatched type?
  1. A
  2. B
  3. AB
  4. ABO
Explanation
Answer: B - Cats with blood type B have naturally high levels of antibodies against blood type A, which can result in fatal allergic reactions if transfused with this mismatched type. Blood type B is more common in purebred cats, but it is an uncommon type, and most cats in the United States are type A. Blood typing should always be performed before a transfusion.
