Findings of a study of 20 cats from multi-cat households presenting for post mortem examination. 6 animals had been euthanized due to severe aggression, while 14 died of other organic causes. Vomeronasal organs were collected and prepared for histological exam and classified as having acute, chronic, or no inflammatory changes. Sensory and non-sensory tissues were considered separately.
