Description A two year old intact tom cat reported to Madras Veterinary College and Teaching Hospital with signs of ptyalism, discomfort and pawing of cheeks since three hours.  Oral cavity examination revealed no abnormalities or foreign bodies.  The cat was anaesthetised with Inj. Xylazine @ 2mg / Kg bw IM and Inj. Ketamine @ 15mg / Kg bw IM and pharynx was examined.  A free end of the multistranded thread was noticed in the pharynx  Radiography revealed no foreign body in the esophagus or stomach.  As the pet was presented earlier retrieval of the linear foreign body was attempted with sterile forceps.  No traction resistance was experienced from the posterior aspect of the foreign body and hence the foreign body was retrieved.  It was a linear atraumatic flexible multistranded thread measuring 3.6 cm in length.  Post – retrieval the cat had no complications.  This case reports successful non surgical retrieval of a linear atraumatic flexible foreign body by oral approach in a young Domestic short hair cat.
