“…The origin of the suprascapular nerve in our puma originated from C6, but in the ocelot it originates from C5 and C6, and in the Geoffroy's cat and the dog from C6 and C7 (Chagas et al, 2014; Dellmann & McClure, 2001; Souza Junior et al, 2018). In the domestic cat it seems even more variable, some authors report its origin is C6, in accordance with our findings, while others report its origin in C5 with an occasional contribution from C6 or C7 (Ghoshal & Magilton, 1972; Nur et al, 2020; Reighard & Jennings, 1902; Roos & Vollmerhaus, 2005; Sebastiani & Fishbeck 2005). This nerve innervates the M. supraspinatus and the M. infraspinatus in cats (Sebastiani & Fishbeck, 2005) and ocelots (Chagas et al, 2014).…”

The knowledge of the anatomy of the brachial plexus in animals is of great importance due to its applicability in clinical, diagnostic and surgical procedures. The objective of the present study was to describe the anatomy of the brachial plexus in the puma. The results demonstrate a broad anatomical similarity with other felines; however, some differences were found. The formation of the brachial plexus in the puma occurred from the ventral interconnections of the last three cervical nerve segments and the first thoracic (C6, C7, C8 and T1). The N. suprascapularis emerges from C6, innervating the M. supraspinatus, the M. infraspinatus, and also the M. cleidobrachialis, the latter by a smaller branch. We found an independent branch emerging from C6 that innervates the M. serratus ventralis cervicis, not reported in other species. The innervation territory of the N. axillary includes the M. cleidobrachialis. The M. teres major was not innervated by the axillary nerve, but by an entirely independent branch that came from C6 and C7, and that also innervated the most caudal part of the M. subscapularis.

“…Cats' front limbs and paws differ from the rear limbs and paws in function, musculature, and innervation. 66 , 67 , 68 Cats' front nails therefore might differ from rear nails in blood supply and deposition of hormones as well as in growth rate and cortisol accumulation. Unpublished preliminary data by one of us (E.T.…”

Background: Chronic stress is implicated in behavioral and health issues in cats, but methods for recognition, evaluation, and measurement of stress are lacking. Cortisol concentration is typically used as an indicator of stress.Objectives: To evaluate use of an enzyme immunoassay to quantitate hair and nail cortisol concentrations (HCC and NCC) in cats and evaluate associations between HCC and NCC and behavioral, physical, and environmental correlates of chronic stress in cats.Animals: Forty-eight adult, owned or community cats.Methods: Cross-sectional study. Nail clippings and hair were collected from cats.Medical history and cat daily lifestyle questionnaires were completed by owners or caretakers. A commercial laboratory performed cortisol extraction and quantification using a validated enzyme immunoassay kit. Correlational and regression analyses were used to evaluate associations between HCC and NCC and behavioral, environmental, and medical factors.Results: Hair and nail cortisol concentrations were significantly associated (r s = 0.70; P < .001), but HCCs varied widely within and among cats. Cats with litterbox issues had significantly increased HCC (P = .02) and NCC (P = .001) as compared to cats without litterbox issues. Cats with groomed coats had lower HCCs (P = .02) as compared to cats without groomed coats, whereas cats with dander and mats had higher NCCs (P = .01) as compared to cats without dander and mats.Conclusions and Clinical Importance: The quantification of NCCs might improve identification and evaluation of chronic stress in cats. The variability of HCCs in individual cats warrants caution using this measurement in chronic stress studies.

“…The quadriceps femoris muscles did not take any branches from either the ischiadicus nerve or the pudendal nerve. According to Roos & Vollmerhaus (2005), N. tibialis is the stronger of the two nerves emerging from the ischiatic nerve. Immediately after its formation, it caudally gives rise to the N. cutaneus surae caudalis that runs laterally to the skin on the calcaneus bone and to the plantar surface of the paw.…”

The innervation of the pelvic limbs of the Van cat is investigated in this research. The origins of the nerves, the innervated muscles and nerve diameters were shown in a table. Five cat cadavers were used in the study. The pudendal nerve originated from the S1-S2 spinal nerves. The femoral nerve consisted of the ventral branches of the 5th and 6th lumbar nerves in 4 cats The ischiatic nerve was composed of the 6th and 7th lumbar (L6-L7) and S1 spinal nerves in all cadavers. The ischiatic nerve was the thickest branch of sacral plexus (the average diameter on the right side was 3.31 ± 0.27 mm and the average diameter on the left side was 3.28 ± 0.29 mm). The lumbosacral plexus was formed by the ventral branches of the L4-S3 spinal nerves. N.genitofemoralis consisted of only the ventral branches of L4 in all cadavers. N. femoralis did not give rise to a branch to the m. iliopsoas. N.plantaris lateralis was found to give a branch to the 3th finger. The quadriceps femoris muscles did not take any branches from either the ischiadicus nerve or the pudendal nerve. The obturator nerve did not receive any branches from the L4 spinal nerves. There was no branch to the skin from the caudal gluteal nerve. The thinnest nerve was the pudendal nerve. Due to the scarcity of studies on the lumbosacral plexus of cats, it is thought that this study will complete a gap in the field of veterinary anatomy.
