A cat was admitted to the clinic of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Ankara University, with the signs of colic, abdominal tension, polydipsia and weakness. According to anamnesis (by the client), the cat was 8-month-old and had mated 30 days prior to the clinical examination. Although the ultrasonographic findings showed anechoic areas in the uterus, no signs of expected pregnancy were found. The patient was received operation because of large anechoic areas determined by ultrasound and high abdominal tension. Histopathological examination of the uterus revealed hydrometra and endometrial hyperplasia together with follicular cyst in the left ovarium.
