Feline urolithiasis is one of the main causes of formation of urinary calculi, which can occur from the renal pelvis to the urethra. These formed calculations change the physiology of the urinary tract, varying according to its composition. It is a demand that has been met daily in veterinary offices and poses a great risk to life, and occurs mainly due to the formation of uroliths that impede the flow of urine. There are several hypotheses about the formation and development of urolithiasis, but none of them is very well elucidated, and may occur in isolation or simultaneously. As predisposing factors, the occurrence of urinary tract infections, variations in urinary pH, hereditary factors, type of diet and low water intake are mentioned. Over the years, the prevalence of the type of urolith in felines has changed, mainly due to the dietary modification implemented with the aim of preventing the appearance of struvite uroliths, which increased the casuistry of calcium oxalate in cats. This work aimed to contribute to the understanding of urolithiasis in the feline species and to help in the diagnosis, surgical treatment and prevention.
