Six cases of cats with skin granulomata containing large numbers of acid‐fast organisms are reported and described. Two cats were destroyed and examined post‐mortem, and three cats were treated surgically and with antibiotic therapy and there was no recurrence in 7 months. Follow‐up information was not available on the sixth case.
