A special form of keratitis in the cat is described on the basis of 8 clinical cases. The disease has been known in the United States and the United Kingdom for some time, however, it has, to our knowledge, never been described in Switzerland. This keratitis is characterized by chronicity and infiltration of the cornea by mast cells and eosinophils. It is usually an unilateral and painless condition. We describe the clinical features and diagnostic examinations of the disease. Cytology of a corneal scraping is usually diagnostic. As in the cases described in the literature the cats were successfully treated with oral megestrol acetate. The aetiology of the disease is unknown.
