An eight‐month‐old domestic shorthair cat was presented with chronic vomiting for three months, with an acute increase in frequency during the past two days. A diagnosis of megaoesophagus was made by chest radiography. Diagnostic work‐up for megaoesophagus was performed. A gastro‐oesophageal intussusception was identified during endoscopy. Medical and nutritional therapy was instituted with a good response to the treatment.
