1. EXPRESS: Surgical management of type I atresia ani using Heineke-Mikulicz-like anoplasty: a case series of eleven kittens (2022-2025).
PMID:日期:2026-09-24Type I atresia ani is rare in cats and there is limited published data on the surgical management and prognosis of this condition in feline patients. Appropriate surgical planning requires thorough examination of the rectum, anus, and perineum to accurately diagnose atresia ani and rule out the presence of a rectovaginal or rectourethral fistula. Type I atresia may be treated with balloon dilatation or bougienage but recurrence may occur and several procedures may be required before complete resolution of the stenosis. The objective of this retrospective case series was to describe, for the first time, the clinical application and postoperative outcomes of a Heineke-Mikulicz-like anoplasty technique in kittens with type I atresia ani. The surgical technique was adapted from the Heineke-Mikulicz anoplasty technique described in people. Eleven cats with a mean age of 12.3 weeks (8-20 weeks) were included in this study. Heineke-Mikulicz-like anoplasty was performed in all cases without intraoperative complications. Major postoperative complications occurred in one case (1/11, 9%), with wound dehiscence two days after surgery. However, complete healing was achieved following revision surgery. At long-term follow-up over 13.6 months (6-24 months) no recurrence was reported in 11/11 (100%) cases. While permanent fecal incontinence was reported in 1/11 (9%) cat, long-term outcomes were excellent in 9/11 (81%) cats.These data suggest that Heineke-Mikulicz-like anoplasty is appropriate for the management of type I atresia ani in cats.

2. EXPRESS: Meningiomas in four cats with pseudocystic fluid accumulation including one microcystic meningioma.
PMID:日期:2026-09-24Case series summaryFour cats were presented with progressive prosencephalic signs. An extraaxial mass associated with a pseudocystic component was identified in each case on MRI and pseudocystic meningiomas were suspected. The appearance of the fluid accumulation in Case 1 was more suggestive of an actual cyst, whereas the crescent shaped fluid accumulation was more compatible with subdural fluid accumulation in Cases 2,3 and 4. All cases underwent mass removal through craniotomy and were discharged from the hospital.The meningiomas were classified as fibrous in case 1,2 and 4, and as microcystic in case 3. The fluid analysis in Case 4 revealed a protein rich fluid with neoplastic meningeal cells. Histology of the wall surrounding the fluid in case 4 revealed tumoral meningothelial cells lined against dura mater, without epithelial lining.All cats improved neurologically after surgical removal of the tumour. Follow-up MRI in cases 2 and 3 performed 6 months post operatively identified focal thickening of the meninges in the two cases (2 and 3).Relevance and novel informationThis case series describes four cats with brain meningiomas associated with a pseudocystic component of unknown origin. Including one microcystic meningioma which has not been previously reported in the veterinary literature. The pseudocyst didn't seem to affect the clinical outcomes and postoperative MRI for these four cats.

3. EXPRESS: Undenatured type II collagen enhances mobility in cats: a randomized placebo controlled cross over field study.
PMID:日期:2026-09-23Objectives This study aimed to evaluate the effects of a complementary feed containing undenatured type II collagen on mobility and degenerative joint disease (DJD)-associated pain in client-owned cats with mild to moderate DJD. Methods This prospective, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, cross-over clinical study (coded 3361) included twenty cats (13 females, 7 males; mean age 8.7± 3.5 years; mean weight 4.8 ± 0.8 Kg). After Ethical Committee approval (n. 01/2021/DETO) and written informed consent, cats underwent physical and radiographic examination. Cats with confirmed DJD and no significant comorbidities were randomized to receive either undenatured type II collagen or placebo chews once daily for 12 weeks, followed by a six-week washout period and crossover to the alternate treatment. Client-specific outcome measurements (CSOM), the short form of the Feline Musculoskeletal Pain Index (FMPI-sf) and quality of life (QoL) assessments were completed at baseline, 6 weeks and 12 weeks. Results Fourteen cats completed all study visits. Cats receiving undenatured type II collagen showed significant reductions in absolute CSOM and FMPI-sf scores at 6 and 12 weeks compared to baseline (P=0.006 and P=0.009, respectively), reflecting improved mobility and reduced musculoskeletal discomfort. QoL scores improved significantly (P=0.002). After 12 weeks, percentage variation in CSOM and FMPI-sf scores had a higher reduction in the collagen group than placebo (-27% and -30% vs +0.4% and +40%). Furthermore, 57% of cats in the supplemented group achieved a clinically meaningful reduction in CSOM (≥ 2 points) after 12 weeks, compared with 28% in the placebo group. Conclusions and relevance Daily supplementation with undenatured type II collagen improved caregiver-reported mobility and reduced DJD-associated pain in cats with mild to moderate DJD, supporting its potential role as a complementary feed for feline musculoskeletal health.

4. EXPRESS: Pull-out strength of cannulated compression headless screws and cortical screws in the feline sacrum.
PMID:日期:2026-09-23The aim of this study was to compare the pull-out strength of cannulated compression headless screws (CCHSs) of two different lengths with that of cortical screws in the feline sacrum. In this experimental study, 30 cadavers of adult Domestic Shorthair cats were randomly assigned to three groups: single 2.4 mm cortical screws engaging 60 % of the sacral width (CS 60, n = 10), 2.5 mm CCHSs engaging 60 % of the sacral width (CCHSs 60, n = 10), and 2.5 mm CCHSs engaging 40 % of the sacral width (CCHS 40, n = 10). Screws were inserted into feline sacra and tested for pull-out strength using a universal testing machine at a constant displacement rate of 0.2 mm / sec up to 20 mm. Peak pull-out force (PPF), displacement at PPF and stiffness were calculated from the load-displacement curves and compared among groups using Fisher's ANOVA and the Welch test. Post-hoc pairwise comparisons were performed using Student's t-tests and the Games-Howell test. Statistical significance was set at p ≤ 0.05. Pairwise comparison of PPF showed significant differences between the CS 60 and CCHS 60 groups (p = 0.05) and between the CS 60 and CCHS 40 groups (p = 0.05). No significant difference was detected between the CCHS 60 and CCHS 40 groups (p = 0.98). For displacement at PPF and stiffness, no significant differences were identified in the pairwise comparison. Fully threaded cortical screws provide greater holding strength than partially threaded CCHSs in cadaveric feline sacra. In addition, a single short CCHS offers holding strength comparable to that of a CCHS of the conventionally recommended length.

5. EXPRESS: EFFECTS OF INTRAMUSCULAR AND INTRANASAL ADMINISTRATION OF MEDETOMIDINE ON SEDATION AND SOME CARDIOPULMONARY VARIABLES IN HEALTHY CATS.
PMID:日期:2026-09-21ObjectivesTo compare the sedative and cardiopulmonary effects following either intranasal (IN) or intramuscular (IM) administration of medetomidine in healthy male cats undergoing neuter procedure.MethodsA total of 26 client-owned healthy cats, aged 7 - 60 months, weighing 4 [3-6] kg (median [min-max]) presented for neutering were included in this blinded, randomized, prospective clinical study. The cats were randomly assigned in two groups to receive medetomidine (40 µg/kg) by IN (16 cats) or IM (10 cats) routes. Sedation was scored during premedication (just before and 10, 15, 20 minutes after medetomidine administration) and during recovery (at the moment of orotracheal extubation, 1 and 2 hours after) with a simple descriptive scale (SDSS) ranging from 0 (no sedation) to 3 (maximum sedation) and a composite scale (CSS) ranging from 0 (no sedation) to 19 (maximum sedation). Heart rate (HR), respiratory frequency (RR), non-invasive arterial blood pressure (NIBP) and haemoglobin oxygen saturation (SpO2) were recorded at the same time points as sedation was assessed.ResultsSedation scores significantly increased for both groups at all time points after medetomidine administration. However, cats in the IM group achieved a higher maximal sedation score and earlier than cats in the IN group (CSSmax 16 [13-17] at TCSSmax 18 [10-20] min versus 14 [9-17] at 20 [15-20] min respectively). HR significantly decreased in both groups after medetomidine administration, but decrease was less pronounced and shorter in IN group. Regarding adverse effects, sneezing, swallowing and vomiting were significantly increased immediately after IN administration.Conclusions and relevanceIN medetomidine (40 µg/kg) can be an alternative, non-invasive route to IM administration for premedicating healthy cats before general anaesthesia for neutering. IN medetomidine premedication produced sufficient sedation with a slower onset and shorter duration but less cardiovascular effects compared to IM in cats.

6. EXPRESS: Radiographic findings of the femora and tibiae in cats affected by patella fracture and dental anomaly syndrome.
PMID:日期:2026-09-17The objective of the study was to describe radiographic skeletal changes in cats affected by patella fracture and dental anomaly syndrome (PADS), with particular focus on the femora and tibiae including bone density alterations, evidence of stress fractures and femoral morphology. Cats were retrospectively selected from a database of PADS affected cats. Radiographs were independently evaluated by five veterinary radiologists and three orthopaedic surgeons for cortical thickening, medullary opacity changes, the presence of osteopetrosis, degenerative joint disease and additional fractures and subjective assessment of the femoral shape. One hundred and twenty‑six cats met the inclusion criteria. All had patellar fractures and 22.2% (n=28) had additional fractures, most commonly involving the proximal tibia in 13.5% of cases (n=17), proximal fibula in 11.9% of cases (n=15) and pelvis. Four cats showed an incomplete radiolucent line in the cranioproximal tibia with surrounding sclerosis, consistent with developing stress fractures. Medullary opacity changes in the femora and/or tibiae were present in 8.7% (11/126) of cats, more often patchy than diffuse in appearance. In 4.0% of cases (n=5), a generalised increase in bone opacity compatible with osteopetrosis was identified. Femoral shape was assessed in 74 cats, with 35% (n=26) having a normal morphology, and 9.5% (n=7) and 2.7% (n=2) having a stovepipe or champagne-fluted morphology respectively. Consensus was not reached in 52.7% (n=39) cases. Most PADS‑affected femora and tibiae appeared radiographically normal, however, a subset of cats demonstrated radiographic features of osteopetrosis, altered femoral morphology and proximal tibial fissure lines suggestive of early stress fractures. These findings suggest that specific structural and morphological changes in the long bones may be present, or predispose, cats to the insufficiency fractures characteristic of PADS and emphasise the importance of clinicians recognising these subtle radiographic features to aid earlier diagnosis and appropriate case management.

7. EXPRESS: Detection of Mycoplasma species and respiratory pathogens in cats with rhinitis and healthy cats.
PMID:日期:2026-09-17To investigate the prevalence of Mycoplasma spp. in cats with rhinitis compared to healthy cats and to evaluate factors associated with detection. A total of 46 cats with rhinitis and 37 asymptomatic controls were prospectively enrolled. Nasal swabs were collected, and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays for Mycoplasma spp., Mycoplasma felis, feline herpesvirus (FHV), feline calicivirus (FCV), Bordetella bronchiseptica (B. bronchiseptica) and Chlamydia spp. were performed. All Mycoplasma spp.-positive samples underwent sequencing for species identification. PCR analysis revealed a significantly higher prevalence of Mycoplasma spp. in cats with rhinitis compared to healthy controls (28.3% vs 5.4%; p = 0.037). Mycoplasma felis was detected in 21.7% of rhinitis cases but in none of the controls (p = 0.017).FHV was significantly more prevalent in cats with rhinitis (39.1% vs 8.1%; p = 0.027). In addition, detection of FHV was significantly associated with detection of Mycoplasma spp. and M. felis within the rhinitis group. FCV (17.4% vs 5.4%; p = 0.352) and Chlamydia spp. (4.3% vs 0%; p = 0.481) did not differ between groups. B. bronchiseptica was not detected in either group. The findings support an association between Mycoplasma detection, particularly M. felis, and feline rhinitis, suggesting clinical relevance of these organisms in feline upper respiratory tract disease. The observed association between Mycoplasma detection and FHV suggests potential viral-bacterial interactions in the pathogenesis of feline upper respiratory tract disease.

8. EXPRESS: Beyond the bowl: behavioural, sensory and environmental strategies to support healthy ageing in cats.
PMID:日期:2026-09-14Ageing in cats brings a shift in clinical priorities: While extending lifespan remains a primary concern for many owners, the clinical goal moves toward safeguarding healthspan, ensuring that added years are accompanied by maintained function and quality of life. With increasing numbers of aged cats, veterinarians face a growing incidence of dysrexia situations that markedly worsen prognosis, especially in the presence of comorbidities such as chronic kidney disease. Feeding difficulties in older cats rarely originate from the composition of the diet alone. Instead, they arise from a multifactorial interplay of sensory decline, chronic pain, cognitive decline, mobility impairment, and environmental or social stressors that disrupt the expression of normal feeding behaviour.Cats are carnivores with distinct feeding behaviour characteristics that must be understood in order to provide appropriate nutritional recommendations, extending beyond the simple selection of a diet that meets nutrient requirements. Feeding strategies must take into account food distribution (spatial and temporal organisation of food presentation), the surrounding environment, and the species' natural activity patterns. Ageing further increases the need to adapt the behavioural component of nutritional management. Ageing affects olfaction, gustation, vision, hearing, circadian feeding rhythms, motor abilities, and socio-cognitive function, all of which influence a cat's capacity to locate, access, evaluate, and consume food. Chronic pain may also reduce meal frequency and size. Cognitive dysfunction may impair spatial navigation, disrupt foraging sequences, or alter appetite, while systemic inflammation may exacerbate muscle loss and reduce behavioural engagement.Beyond diet formulation, clinicians must consider the ways ageing cats interact with their environment and caregivers. Integrating ethology, sensory biology, pain assessment, and environmental management with nutritional strategies is critical to quality of life in older feline patients. This review calls for greater recognition of these intertwined mechanisms and urges clinicians to move "beyond the bowl" when supporting ageing cats.

9. EXPRESS: What Goes in the Bowl? Evidence-Based Nutrition for Ageing Domestic Cats.
9. EXPRESS：碗里装的是什么？基于证据的老年家猫营养学PMID:日期:2026-09-11With the increasing life expectancy of domestic cats, there is a growing imperative to understand and address the unique nutritional needs of senior felines. This review critically examines current knowledge regarding the physiological changes associated with feline ageing, the nutritional requirements of older cats, and the gaps in research and regulatory nutritional standards that persist in this field. Despite the importance of nutrition, there are no official guidelines for senior or geriatric cats. Veterinary recommendations focus on energy, protein, fat (including essential fatty acids), and water, but these are largely extrapolated from adult cat requirements. The literature reveals a focus on canine ageing, with feline-specific studies remaining scarce. Where research exists, it highlights the benefits of enriched diets (e.g., fish oil, vitamins, B vitamins, arginine) and targeted supplementation (e.g., vitamin E, ß-carotene, linoleic acid, chicory root) in improving cognitive function, longevity, and intestinal health. However, robust, contemporary evidence for nutritional interventions in ageing cats is limited. Energy requirements, which underpin diet formulation, are inconsistent between studies and largely rely on non-peer reviewed data (i.e., conference proceedings) or meta-analyses. Protein is central to feline health, yet optimal levels for seniors are not empirically established, and age-related amino acid requirements are largely unexplored. Fat digestibility may decline with age, but the impact on fat-soluble nutrient status (e.g., vitamins A, D, E, K) is not well understood. Micronutrient deficiencies, particularly in B vitamins (B6, thiamine, B12), are more prevalent in older cats, often due to reduced intake and assimilation. Regulatory frameworks lack senior-specific nutritional standards, and commercial diets marketed for older cats often do not differ substantially from adult formulations. This review calls for evidence-led approaches, advocating for reputable brands that conduct dietary trials and publish peer-reviewed data on their senior formulations.

10. 2026 iCatCare consensus guidelines on the diagnosis and management of chronic kidney disease in cats.
10. 2026年iCatCare关于猫慢性肾病诊断和管理的共识指南PMID:日期:2026-09-01[中文摘要] 慢性肾病（CKD）在老年猫中很常见。早期诊断有助于实施干预措施，以减缓疾病进展并尽量减少临床症状。根据国际肾病学会（IRIS）CKD分期系统进行管理，可以延长患病猫的生存时间并使其保持优良的生活质量。《2026 iCatCare慢性肾病诊断与管理共识指南》提供了关于CKD发病机制的信息、做出诊断和疾病分期的指导，以及医学和营养治疗方面的实用内容。指南还讨论了如何优化家庭和兽医诊所环境以积极影响心理健康，进而促进身体健康，以及与整个兽医团队和照护者合作以减缓疾病进展并最大化生活质量。患病猫在CKD早期可能表现出极少或没有临床症状，这可能导致诊断延迟。该病通常是进行性的，管理需要综合考虑多种因素以解决临床症状。可能出现的并发症如高钙血症、高血压、蛋白尿和贫血，需要进行治疗。此外，由于高龄是CKD的风险因素，猫可能患有重要的合并症，需要权衡这些合并症对肾脏的影响。照护患有CKD的猫可能会给照护者带来负担。因此，支持照护者、根据个体猫的情况制定监测方案，以及让兽医和护理团队共同参与非常重要。本指南由国际猫科护理组织（iCatCare）兽医学会召集的专家小组制定。信息基于现有文献、专家意见和小组成员的经验。特定缩写：ACE = 血管紧张素转换酶；ACKD = 慢性肾病急性加重；AKI = 急性肾损伤；ARB = 血管紧张素受体阻滞剂；CKD = 慢性肾病；CKD-MBD = 慢性肾病-矿物质和骨异常；FGF23 = 成纤维细胞生长因子23；GFR = 肾小球滤过率；iCa = 离子钙；ICGN = 免疫复合物性肾小球肾炎；IRIS = 国际肾病学会；PTH = 甲状旁腺激素；SDMA = 对称二甲基精氨酸。
[英文摘要] Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is common in senior cats. Early diagnosis can facilitate interventions to slow progression and minimise clinical signs. Management according to the International Renal Interest Society (IRIS) staging system for CKD can lead to prolonged survival and an excellent quality of life for affected cats. The '2026 iCatCare consensus guidelines on the diagnosis and management of chronic kidney disease in cats' provide information on the pathogenesis of CKD, guidance on making a diagnosis and staging of disease, and practical content on medical and nutritional treatment. They also discuss optimising the home and veterinary clinic environment to positively influence mental wellbeing and, in turn, physical health, as well as working with the whole veterinary team and caregivers to slow disease progression and maximise quality of life. Affected cats may show minimal or no clinical signs in the early stages of CKD, which can result in a delay in diagnosis. The condition is generally progressive and management requires consideration of multiple factors in order to address clinical signs. Complications such as hypercalcaemia, hypertension, proteinuria and anaemia may develop, requiring treatment. Moreover, as advancing age is a risk factor for CKD, cats may have important comorbidities that need to be balanced, with impacts on the kidney. Caring for a cat with CKD can result in caregiver burden. Hence, supporting caregivers, contextualising monitoring to the individual cat, and involving both the veterinary and nursing teams is important. These Guidelines have been created by a panel of experts brought together by International Cat Care (iCatCare) Veterinary Society. Information is based on the available literature, expert opinion and the panel members' experience.Specific abbreviations:ACE = angiotensin-converting enzyme; ACKD = acute-on-chronic kidney disease; AKI = acute kidney injury; ARB = angiotensin receptor blocker; CKD = chronic kidney disease; CKD-MBD = CKD-mineral and bone disorder; FGF23 = fibroblast growth factor 23; GFR = glomerular filtration rate; iCa = ionised calcium; ICGN = immune-complex glomerulonephritis; IRIS = International Renal Interest Society; PTH = parathyroid hormone; SDMA = symmetric dimethylarginine.
