Abstract
Clinical investigations and hematological, serum biochemical and serologica l surveys were carried out on 11 male and 6 female Iriomote cats (Felis iri omotensis) in Japan. Examined Iriomote cats were considered clinically heal thy by the inspection for the general physical conditions. However, urinaly sis suggested the inflammation of the urinary tract in all the cats. Antibo dy for feline panleukopenia virus was positive in one of the examined Iriom ote cats, which suggested a previous infection.
