Seven cats had obstruction of the SUB device and a positive urine culture at diagnosis. The migration was identified by ultrasound in 6\/11, pre-operative contrast radiography in 2\/2, and only at time of surgery in 3 SUB devices. All cats underwent surgical correction. Four nephrostomy and 7 cystotomy catheters migrated. Migration occurred into the duodenum (3\/11), jejunum (7\/11), and colon (1\/11). SUB devices were removed in 7 cats and replaced in 2 cats, with 1 cat diagnosed with 2 migration events. Gastrointestinal resection and anastomosis were performed in 7\/8 cats and an enterotomy in 2 cats. Six cats survived to discharge. The median follow-up time after migration diagnosis was 365\u2009days (range, 0-1114\u2009days) and 2 cats are still alive.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n
