    An 8-year-old, neutered male domestic shorthair cat that was mainly kept indoors was presented with a complaint that the cat became unsteady in both hind limbs. At the first examination, hind limb paraplegia and incontinence were recognized. From radiographic and myelographic findings, intervertebral disc disease was suspected although it was known to be uncommon in cats. Surgical decompression was accomplished by hemilaminectomy and durotomy. As the degenerated disc material was found free within the spinal canal, a diagnosis of Hansen's type I intervertebral disc disease was made. Following the operation normal ambulation was recovered.
