This paper describes two cases of perineal hernia in the cat, a condition so far unreported in this animal. One, a 10‐year‐old spayed female, had a history which could have explained the development of the condition. The other, a 15‐month‐oId male, had no apparent predisposing history. The surgical repair is described and aetiologies discussed.
