All cats wilhmicrofilariasin blood have been divided inlo six groups. Oppression, total absence of appetite, exhaustion, thirst, periodic vomiting and diarrhea, cyanosis or iclerus of conjuncliva, painful palpation of abdominal wall and hematuria were marked 81 animals of the first group.

Oppression, periodic absence of appelile, exhauslion, hurried breathing, anemia or cyanosis of mucous membranes were revealed al animals of Ihe third group. Periodic oppression, periodic absence of appelile, anemia or cyanosis of mucous membranes were marked at cats of the fourth group. Periodic oppression and periodic appetite decreased at cats of the fifth group.Periodic oppression was observed at animals of the sixth group. Conducted researches showed that clinical signs of dirofilariasis at cats have big variability. Hematologic indices of blood of sick cats also possess the big variability and consequently it isn't possible to subdivide animals to this sign.
