Unless the underlying cause of urethral obstruction is addressed, this problem is likely to recur and this requires a multimodal approach that includes a behavioural assessment and evaluation of the cat's home environment. Abstract - This prospective observational study evaluated client-reported recurrence of lower urinary tract signs (LUTS) and other signs of abnormalities in cats with idiopathic cystitis after institution of multimodal environmental modification (MEMO). Ongoing modifications in the therapeutic landscape thus require constant updates for veterinary professionals handling obstructed cats. This article constitutes a robust narrative review aimed at providing a comprehensive overview of studies published between 2010 and 2025 regarding the clinical management of urethral obstruction in male cats. The patient, a young neutered male domestic shorthair cat, presented with typical signs including anuria, vomiting and lethargy. Urethral obstruction was promptly diagnosed by palpation and laboratory analysis revealing severe hyperkalaemia and azotaemia.
