A five‐week‐old kitten presented with clinical signs consistent with a patent urachus. The urachal anomaly was revealed by exploratory celiotomy and surgically excised without complications. Follow‐up radiographic evaluation confirmed the complete removal of the urachal anomaly. Twenty‐five months after surgery the cat remained healthy and without problems.
