The article presents the results of research on the study of the epizootic situation and the etiological structure of the association of bacterial pathogens for infectious rhinotracheitis in cats. The dynamics of the manifestation of infectious rhinotracheitis in cats in the conditions of the "Aibolyt" veterinary clinic in Kharkov were studied. It has been established that infectious rhinotracheitis is registered among cats in association with infectious diseases of bacterial etiology. The disease has a pronounced seasonality, which is manifested by more frequent cases of its occurrence in the spring-summer-autumn periods. It was investigated that the largest specific weight in the bacterial association was Bordetella bronchiseptica – 58.0 %. Purebred animals aged from 6 months to 2.5 years, depending on the conditions of keeping (Sphynx, Siamese, Maine Coon, British, Persian) were more often sick. Sexual susceptibility to infectious rhinotracheitis in association with bordetelliosis was confirmed by the highest percentage of morbidity in females (68.9%) compared to males (31.1 %).
