Abstract:
Gross morphological study was carried out on femur of five adult domestic cats. The position of the femur was oblique and cranioventral in the cat. In the medial border, at the upper third, trochanter minor was present and in the lower third, medial supracondyloid crest was present. The average length of the femur was 9.540 ± 0.3169 cm in the cat. The trochanteric ridge travelled in oblique direction which communicated the trochanter major with the trochanter minor. The third trochanter was absent. The data collected were analyzed for mean and standard error as per the standard procedure of Panse and Sukhatme (1967) and Snedecor and Cochran (1994).
