The blood type of a mother cat and kitten was actually quite important. Not only was it dangerous for a mother cat to mate with a kitten that wasn't related by blood, but it was also dangerous for a mother cat and her own kitten to have different blood types when they were breastfeeding.
It sounded incredible, but if the mother cat was type B and the male cat was type A, and they gave birth to type A kittens, then the kittens couldn't drink the mother cat's milk. Instead, the owner should replace it with goat's milk. Otherwise, the kittens might have severe hemolysis reactions, necrosis of their ears and tail, or even sudden death without warning.
On the other hand, if the mother cat was type A and the male cat was type B, giving birth to type B kittens, this situation wasn't a big problem, because type A blood mother's milk contained fewer antibodies, so it wouldn't have a significant impact on the kittens.
Stray cats and ordinary cats that weren't sterilized, raised, or bred under the guidance of science, gave birth to a large number of kittens that died young.
Therefore, cats of the same blood type were the safest to breed, and they would only give birth to kittens of the same blood type.
Abby's cat had a high chance of being type B, and Cathy's cats were all type B, so it was very safe to breed them.
Zhang Zian didn't deny the success of Wang Qian's neighbor's family, because blood type was nothing more than a matter of probability. Even for humans, if they had lost a lot of blood and needed a blood transfusion, if they really couldn't verify the blood type, they could just bite the bullet and find a random person to draw blood for a blood transfusion. Maybe the blood type was right, and nothing would happen, and that person's life would be saved.
In the Mahogany Forest, if Famous wasn't there, he might have asked Fa Tiai for help. After all, they were both canines, but if Fa Tiai wasn't there, then he definitely couldn't watch Vladimir die. He could only try his luck and draw blood from the cat elfin to transfuse to Vladimir.
Most cats had type A blood, so the chances of getting it right were still very high.
But was it that kind of emergency? Obviously not.
He explained it to the staff, and they could only accept it.
"Then why is goat's milk fine?" Wang Qian still wasn't satisfied.
"It's very simple, because the antibodies in goat's milk don't work on cats," Zhang Zian replied.
It was like a dog's blood of any blood type could be transfused to a cat's blood type. It seemed like nonsense, but it was actually reasonable.
"Also, what breed of cat does your neighbor have?" Zhang Zian asked Wang Qian.
Wang Qian thought for a moment. "It's just an ordinary cat. What's that little kitten you picked up? I think it's the Three Flower? "
"That's right, because mixed-breed cats have a higher chance of having type A blood. Mongrel cats and Sanhua cats are both mixed-breed cats, so there's a high chance that they both have type A blood. Your neighbor was lucky. Purebred cats had a higher chance of having type B blood, but it was still higher than mixed cats. Most purebred cats still had type A blood. Cathy tested the blood types of the Abby cats. They were all type B, and this little orange kitten, because it is a mixed breed cat, is likely to be type A … "
Before Zhang Zian could finish, Wang Qian interrupted him as if he had a headache. "Stop! Shizun, please spare me. I haven't studied probability for many years. Listening to A and B makes my head hurt. In any case, I understand. Anyway, this little orange cat can't recognize Ah Bi as its mother, right? "
"That's right." Zhang Zian nodded reluctantly. "In fact, cats also have type AB blood. I haven't joined the discussion of the third situation yet …"
Wang Qian had a bitter face. "I studied liberal arts to escape advanced mathematics. You remind me of the fear of being dominated by mathematics in the college entrance examination …"
Lu Yi Yun continued to make goat milk powder.
Zhang Zian was also regretful. If Abby had type A blood, he could totally follow Jiang Feifei's suggestion and let the mother cat take care of the little kitten. That would save a lot of trouble, but unfortunately, he couldn't.
Li Kun, who was smarter, seemed to have thought of something. He asked, "Shizun, we received a package for you yesterday. The sender was some precision instrument factory. The content said microscope. Was it really a microscope?"
Zhang Zian was speechless. "Nonsense! If it wasn't a microscope, what else could it be? "
Li Kun and Wang Qian looked at each other and argued, "No, that … At that time, we were still discussing. Although there was a microscope on the box, could it be an adult product that you bought? The store was considerate enough to ship it privately. That way, they would be able to show that it was a microscope … After all, what do you need a microscope for? Do you want to make your own CD? We wanted to secretly open it and take a look, but then the express delivery arrived with the watermelon we bought online, and we forgot about it … "
"Don't think of me as such a dirty person! Besides, what does a microscope have to do with CD engraving? "Zhang Zian was so angry that he threw a rag at them, but they dodged it.
Did these two idiots really think that "engraving" a CD was done by hand?
"Quack! Let me tell you, why did this idiot buy a microscope? Because the magnifying glass is already … quack! "
Before Richard could finish its sentence, a dirty rag flew over and blocked the rest of its sentence. After all, Little Celery was still there.
Little Celery was not only there, but she was also listening very carefully, because she felt that she had learned a lot.
"Brother Store Manager, why did you buy a microscope?" She looked at Richard, who was struggling under the rag, puzzled. She didn't understand why Zhang Zian didn't let it finish its sentence.
Zhang Zian coughed. "To test the blood type of the cat, and of course, the dog."
The incident in the Mahogany Forest made him realize the potential danger that he had neglected before. Elfins could get injured, and if they needed a blood transfusion after an injury, it would be troublesome if they didn't know the blood type. This time, Vladimir had relied on Famous's blood to get through a difficult situation. What about next time? A cat could only get dog blood transfusion once in its life. Vladimir was always running out, and it even had a grudge with Little White. Who could guarantee that it wouldn't get injured in the future?
So, including other elfins, there was no harm in taking a precautionary blood test.
"Can you use a microscope to test the blood type?" Little Celery asked curiously.
"Yes. As long as you have a cat whose blood type has been determined, such as an Abby cat with type B blood, take two drops of blood, and then take a drop of blood from the cat that you want to test the blood type of. After a few minutes of observation through the microscope, you'll know if there's a blood clotting reaction. Of course, you can also use a blood type test paper for convenience, but there's a certain chance of error with the blood type test paper, and it can't be reused. It's better to buy a microscope … "As he spoke, he glanced at Wang Qian and Li Kun." Maybe it can also be used to engrave a CD. "
Little Celery raised her hand and said eagerly, "The science teacher taught us how to use a microscope!"
She really wanted to try testing the blood type of a cat herself, and write a very meaningful scientific record based on it.
"No problem. I'll let you try in a while," Zhang Zian agreed.
