Abstract

Studies on the normal and abnormal vascularization of the renal vessels in the domestic cat (felis domestica) indicate the frequency of anomalies that occur, but in most of the studies it is the inferior vena cava that is most often recorded. Among the occasional references to several renal veins or arteries we have Huntington and McClure, Elmer Butler, Gaylord Bates, William Darrach, and C.H. Fortune. Yet no study seems to have been made of individuals of any particular class. A superficial observation seems to indicate a large number of cats used in the laboratory had multiple renal veins. Hence a proposed study of a representative number is presented to see if this is correct.

Origin of the renal vascular supply in the cat would seem to indicate the possibility of such accessory arteries or veins. Used in this study were 100 cats, i.e., those dissected in the comparative anatomy laboratory at Marquette University under the guidance of Father R.R. Reis.
