Medical records were reviewed for information on the number of obstructions prior to surgery, urinary tract problems at the time of surgery and other potential factors influencing long-term welfare. Owners were surveyed by telephone and text 5\u201329 months after their cat\u2019s surgery. Responses were compiled and analyzed to determine owner perception of welfare postsurgery, and to identify patterns in medical history and welfare outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In total, 105 cat owners were eligible for the survey; 74 responded. Altogether, 100% of responding individuals reported at least the same quality of life postsurgery compared with the cat\u2019s quality of life before demonstrating urinary problems (48% reported better). On a quality-of-life scale of 1\u201310 (10 = excellent), 100% of responding cat owners reported at least 7; 75% reported 10.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions and relevance<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Quality-of-life outcomes for cats 5\u201329 months after receiving perineal urethrostomy surgery were reported to be very good. Given this finding, and that perineal urethrostomy surgery should mitigate future blockages, we suggest considering perineal urethrostomy surgery as a standard tool to manage urinary obstructions in cats. The needs of the specific client and patient, including risks, costs and welfare of the cats, should drive the options for management of urinary obstructions in male cats.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/1098612x19867777","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,8,19]],"date-time":"2019-08-19T04:39:00Z","timestamp":1566189540000},"page":"582-588","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Welfare of cats 5\u201329 months after perineal urethrostomy: 74 cases (2015\u20132017)"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Margaret R","family":"Slater","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) Animal Hospital, New York City, NY, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5294-4642","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sharon","family":"Pailler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) Animal Hospital, New York City, NY, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"J\u2019mai M","family":"Gayle","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) Animal Hospital, New York City, NY, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Illoneete","family":"Cohen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) Animal Hospital, New York City, NY, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Erin L","family":"Galloway","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) Animal Hospital, New York City, NY, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kristen A","family":"Frank","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) Animal Hospital, New York City, NY, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Camille","family":"DeClementi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) Animal Hospital, New York City, NY, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,8,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2460\/javma.2002.221.502"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jvim.14559"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0195-5616(96)50083-5"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jfms.2008.11.009"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1748-5827.1991.tb00935.x"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1053\/j.tcam.2018.07.002"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1748-5827.2005.tb00288.x"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jfms.2007.06.007"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cvsm.2004.08.006"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/vec.12278"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1748-5827.2005.tb00314.x"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1748-5827.2012.01310.x"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_14_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cvsm.2011.07.001"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_15_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5326\/0420218"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_16_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0195-5616(02)00032-3"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_17_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2460\/javma.1992.200.05.681"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_18_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cvsm.2006.10.003"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_19_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2460\/javma.240.4.427"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_20_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1789","DOI":"10.2460\/javma.1971.159.12.1789","article-title":"Perineal urethrostomy in cats","volume":"159","author":"Wilson GP","year":"1971","unstructured":"Wilson GP, Harrison JW.
