Abstract
A one-year-old male Himalayan cat was presented with a history of chronic c ystitis. Physical examination revealed that the cat had hypospadias. It was postulated that the abnormal urethral opening on the ventral aspect of the penis permitted faecal contamination of the preputial area and gave rise t o the ascending infection. The hypospadias was surgically corrected and a c omplete recovery was achieved.
