A total of 11334 cats (included 6029 queens and 5305 tomcats) belonging to different ages and breeds were included in this study. Feline genital system surgical affections were registered for age, sex, breed, and the main complaint from their owners. A full data of each case was collected including case history, clinical examination radiographic, ultrasonographic and laboratory findings in addition to histopathological examinations according to the previously designed examination sheet. A total number of 1684 of cats suffered from female genital surgical affections; 53 tomcats suffered from male genital surgical affections.
