Diagnostic imaging revealed diffuse renal and hepatic cysts, resulting in marked hepatomegaly. Computed tomography (CT) further identified a localized narrowing of the intrahepatic caudal vena cava (CVC), likely due to extrinsic compression by the enlarged liver. Laboratory tests revealed moderate anemia, leukocytosis, hypoalbuminemia, and a hypercoagulable state with markedly elevated serum amyloid A levels. Based on these findings, the cat was diagnosed with polycystic kidney and liver disease (PKD\/PLD), complicated by Budd\u2013Chiari-like syndrome (BCLS), a rare hemodynamic disorder in felines. Despite supportive care, the patient succumbed to renal failure within 7\u202fweeks. Whole-genome sequencing identified a heterozygous known pathogenic non-sense mutation in\n                    <jats:italic>PKD1<\/jats:italic>\n                    (XM_023247051.2:c.9864C\u202f&amp;gt;\u202fA), a novel frameshift mutation in\n                    <jats:italic>GANAB<\/jats:italic>\n                    , and multiple missense variants in\n                    <jats:italic>PKD1<\/jats:italic>\n                    and\n                    <jats:italic>PKHD1<\/jats:italic>\n                    . To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of feline BCLS secondary to PLD-induced CVC compression. These findings underscore the importance of considering vascular complications in advanced PKD\/PLD and suggest that multigenic variation may contribute to disease severity and clinical variability.\n
