Objective. The aim of this study is to present the diagnosis and treatment methods of a cat with hematuria and strangury which was diagnosed with a foreign body within the urinary bladder. Materials and Methods. A 1-year-old, mixed breed, neutered male cat was presented with pollakiuria and hematuria. The abdominal examination revealed a contractile and painful urinary bladder. Results. The abdominal ultrasonographic examination demonstrated a linear foreign body (urinary catheter) in the bladder lumen. A standard midline cystotomy was made and a 6 cm long urinary catheter was removed from the bladder. The cat recovered uneventfully. The presence of foreign bodies in the urinary bladder is rare in veterinary practice. Conclusions. Ultrasonographic examination of the urinary bladder gives valuable information on the foreign body-related cystitis in cats.
