The results of a co‐ordinated multicentred clinical evaluation of a new steroid anaesthetic for cats, CT 1341, are presented. Forty‐six practising veterinary surgeons were involved. Administration by the intravenous, intramuscular and combined intramuscular‐intravenous routes was tried. It was concluded that CT 1341 is a safe anaesthetic in cat practice when given intravenously. When employed by the intramuscular route it induced deep sedation and in some cases anaesthesia, depending on the dosage used.
