“giving him a blood transfusion”

Is it just me or when did they start keeping “cat” blood on supply for transfusions?

In my day, vets would simply phone a Chinese restaurant!

Some vets keep an “office” cat on the premises that may be sometimes used as a blood donor for kitty transfusions.

I worked for a Vet back in 60s. We kept a couple of "house cats" who were the designated blood donors when needed. They were well fed and the staff used to play with them a bit to keep them socialized.
