Thus, the aim of the study was to perform a morphometric characterization of the domestic cat sperm. Therefore, sperm samples were collected from twenty pairs of epididymis in a TRIS extender at 37\u00baC. An aliquot of the sample was used to make a smear with Rose Bengal solution, and afterwards, the morphology and morphometry were analysed. In the morphology, were quantified the percentage of normal sperm cells, morphological changes of head, midpiece and tail. In morphometry, each normal sperm cell was measured for length, width, area and perimeter of head and midpiece, tail length and total length. The parameters ellipticity, elongation, regularity and rugosity were also determined. The percentage of normal sperm was 67.21%. Of the abnormalities, the curled\/folded tail, followed by the curved midpiece, abnormal shaped head and detached head were the most quantified. The sperm head presented 5.56\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00.01\u00a0\u03bcm and 3.10\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00.01\u00a0\u03bcm of length and width, respectively. The head area was 16.94\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00.05\u00a0\u03bcm<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>, while the perimeter was 16.16\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00.03\u00a0\u03bcm. In the derived parameters, the values were as follows: ellipticity of 1.81\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00.00; elongation of 21.39\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00.12; regularity of 0.81\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00.00; and rugosity of 0.14\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00.00. The midpiece presented length and width of 7.96\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00.01\u00a0\u03bcm and 0.76\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00.01\u00a0\u03bcm, respectively. The mean length of the sperm tail was 45.12\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00.06\u00a0\u03bcm, and the total cell size was 58.67\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00.06\u00a0\u03bcm. Thus, it was concluded that the cat sperm is an elongated cell, with high rugosity and regularity. The spermatic tail represents more than \u00be of the total length of the cell and the midpiece exceeds the length of the head.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/rda.13572","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,10,1]],"date-time":"2019-10-01T13:08:42Z","timestamp":1569935322000},"page":"1630-1636","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Morphological and morphometric characterization of domestic cat epididymal sperm"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"54","author":[{"given":"Brenna","family":"de Sousa Barbosa","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Veterinary Medicine State University of Cear\u00e1 (UECE) Fortaleza Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Herlon Victor","family":"Rodrigues Silva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Veterinary Medicine State University of Cear\u00e1 (UECE) Fortaleza Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Beatriz","family":"Evaristo de Almeida Tabosa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Veterinary Medicine State University of Cear\u00e1 (UECE) Fortaleza Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Thalles","family":"Gothardo Pereira Nunes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Veterinary Medicine State University of Cear\u00e1 (UECE) Fortaleza Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Francisco Felipe","family":"de Magalh\u00e3es","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Veterinary Medicine State University of Cear\u00e1 (UECE) Fortaleza Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9793-1968","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"L\u00facia","family":"Daniel Machado da Silva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Veterinary Medicine State University of Cear\u00e1 (UECE) Fortaleza Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,10,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_10_2_1","first-page":"1","article-title":"Matura\u00e7\u00e3o epididim\u00e1ria em c\u00e3es","volume":"112","author":"Angrimani D.
