Abstract

It is know that the casuistic of cats that present clinical signs referring to the lower urinary tract (STUI) worldwide is enormous. However it is also recognized that, in most of these cases, the specific cause that triggers such signals is not known, as well as signals referring to other systems that may be previously or simultaneously concomitant with STUI. The objective of this work is to investigate the current evidence on feline idiopathic / interstitial cystitis (CIF) and how to approach the feline patient for this syndrome: what questions should be asked to the tutor, the findings of the physical and complementary exams, as well as the treatments most indicated in each particular case.
