A 1-year-old intact male Russian blue cat was admitted with a history of depression, partial anorexia, vomiting and dysuria. Through the blood analysis, ultrasonography and urinalysis, this cat was diagnosed as feline lower urinary tract disease with cystitis. Despite antibiotic therapy the cat showed stranguria and urinary catheterization were repeated several times. One week after, this patient appeared depression, hyperthermia and leukocytosis. Ultrasonography revealed a small amount of hypoechoic fluid around the right kidney and bacteria were found in the urine. The amount of the right subcapsular fluid was increased and bacteria were found in the fluid. On the excretory urography, leakage of contrast media were detected. The right kidney was surgically removed and suppurative fluid between the renal parenchyma and the thickened capsule was identified. After surgery, subcapsular abscess of the right kidney associated with pyelonephritis was confirmed histologically and this cat recovered without complications.
