A 3-year-old Persian cat developed bloody diarrhoea. On histological examination, a marked necrotic colitis with a large number of invading protozoan parasites was observed. The protozoan was identified as Entamoeba histolytica by light and electron microscopy. This is the first report describing spontaneous amoebiasis in cats.
