The aim was to document muscle morphology, origin\u2013insertion patterns, tendon courses, and morphometric parameters, while addressing terminological inconsistencies. Ten adult cat cadavers (five males and five females) were dissected in a proximodistal manner under stereomicroscopic guidance, examining the cranial\/dorsal and caudal\/plantar regions of the crus and pes. The results demonstrated a distinct organization of the distal membrum pelvinum muscles, with notable features in the m. flexor digitorum profundus, m. popliteus, m. soleus, and intrinsic plantar musculature. The digital flexor apparatus, lumbrical attachments, and bipartite structure of the m. abductor digiti V were characterized. No discrete tendinous or connective tissue linkage between the m. flexor digitorum profundus tendon and the manica flexoria (derived from the m. flexor digitorum superficialis tendon) was identified. Morphometric analysis revealed sex\u2010related differences, with males generally exhibiting greater absolute muscle dimensions. However, size\u2010normalized data indicated a more complex pattern, with relatively larger muscle proportions in females for several muscle groups, while short muscles more frequently showed relatively greater dimensions in males. Overall, this study establishes a comprehensive anatomical framework for the distal pelvic limb in the domestic cat and provides baseline morphometric data for future functional and comparative investigations.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/ahe.70188","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,22]],"date-time":"2026-10-22T08:52:37Z","timestamp":1792659157000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Muscular and Tendinous Anatomy of the Feline Crus and Pes"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"55","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7215-8112","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ismail Hakki","family":"Nur","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anatomy, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Erciyes University  Kayseri Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9647-4731","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"William","family":"P\u00e9rez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"PEDECIBA Universidad de la Republica  Montevideo Uruguay"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2009-4898","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Catrin Sian","family":"Rutland","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Veterinary Medicine and Science, Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences University of Nottingham  Nottingham UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8107-4882","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nejat","family":"Unlukal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medicine Department of Histology and Embryology Selcuk University  Konya Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6220-9243","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ender","family":"Erdogan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medicine Department of Histology and Embryology Selcuk University  Konya Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ympev.2009.10.033"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/icb\/24.1.85"},{"issue":"1","key":"e_1_2_9_4_1","first-page":"65","article-title":"Characteristic Properties of Superficial Lumbrical Spindles in the Cat Hind Limb, Related to Their bag1 Fibres","volume":"189","author":"Banks R.
