Medical records of 10 cats diagnosed with phimosis were reviewed. The most common clinical signs exhibited were stranguria and pollakiuria, which occurred in eight out of 10 cats. The diagnosis of phimosis was made from physical examination alone in all cats. Eight of the 10 cats had surgical widening of the preputial orifice. Seven of these eight cats had follow-up of ≥1 month, consisting of communications with the owner or referring veterinarian, who revealed resolution of preoperative clinical signs that were attributed to phimosis.
