A few success in urolithiasis medication and treatment since at the diagnosis is conducted. Early diagnosis on urolithiasis incidence will improve the success of patient medication/treatment. The present research aimed to evaluate the clinical symptoms of urolithiasis among local male cats. Expected benefits include identified accurate diagnosis method to be served as practical early detection on urolithiasis; hence, it can be adopted as the basis of early diagnosis on urolithiasis incidence. In this research, there were three groups of cats: group I (cats that were purposively conditioned to suffer from urolitiasis), group II (cats that did not suffer from urolithiasis), and group III (cats that identified already suffer from urolithiasis). Each cat was physically examined and its urine and blood were sampled. The urine samples, then, underwent 1) physical examination in terms of color, odor, and clarity; 2) laboratory test in terms of presence of blood, bilirubin, urobilinogen, ketone, protein, nitrate, glucose, pH, specify gravity, leucocyte and ascorbic acid by using urine analysis strip; and 3) microscopic examination to identify the presence of crystal. Blood bio-chemical examination were included ureum and creatinine. Afterward, the cats underwent radiographic examination with and without contrast media (positive and negative). The results of physical and laboratoric examinations on cats, urine samples, blood samples, and x-ray photography were descriptively analyzed. The results of this study showed that the group I indicated increasing clarity of urine, pH 6.75–7.25; protein in urine, 82.5 -132.5 mg/dl albumin, the presence of struvite crystal, increasing of BUN 47.3 mg/dl, and thickening vesica urinary, there was not change in group II. The group III showed change during palpation on vesica urinary i.e. in full condition, dark yellow and unclear, pH level of 6.3-7, protein in urine, 53-77 mg/dl albumin, presence of blood in urine, BUN 59.43 mg/dl, and thickening vesica urinary wall. The conclusion from this research are the diagnosis on early urolithiasis in cats could be conducted through the use of presented clinical syptoms, namely: bright to dark yellow and quite unclear in the urine color urine, pH level of higher than 7, ± 82,5 mg/dl albumin of protein content in urine, the presence of formed microlith crystal stuvite in urine, increasing of BUN, and radiograph examination with negative contrast media indicating thickening vesica urinary wall. Key words: cat, urolithiasis, clinical sign, early diagnosis
