Med., Cairo Uni. and two private clinics in Cairo, during the period from August 2001 to December 2003, 37 cats (3.5%) suffered obstipation and megacolon. Domestic shorthair cats represented 46% of the total affected cats with high incidence in Siamese breed. Out of the affected males, 19 (76%) were intact while the entire females were 8 (66.7%). The age of the affected cats ranged between 8-96 months. The clinical signs, clinical examination, probable causes and diagnostic radiographic imaging were recorded and discussed. Among surgical modalities used; transabdominal manipulation, colotomies and subtotal colectomy the latter one gave satisfactory results.
