This belief is common enough that I've heard it before, but in fact it's generally a very bad idea to attempt to transfuse blood across species.

Cats have three blood types (A, B, and AB)... they don't have anything like the human "Universal Donor" O type, so transfusions for cats must be cross-matched.
