The study was carried out to evaluate the cardiopulmonary and haematological changes when sevoflurane (n=6) and isoflurane (n=6) was used as anaesthetic agents in ketamine (15mg/kg) premedicated healthy adult cat presented for elective surgery (spaying). Induction, maintenance and recovery quality were found to be similar in both the groups. Respiratory rate reduce significantly during the anaesthesia in both the groups. Pulse rate, rectal temperature and peripheral oxygen saturation were also changed significantly within the group but between groups all the parameters were found to be identical. Changes in haematological parameters were also observed during the course of anaesthesia but the difference was minimal between both of the groups the results of the present study indicated that the anaesthetic quality induces by sevoflurane and isoflurane are comparable to each other. But sevoflurane induce anaesthesia and recoveries were faster than of isoflurane and both the agents are found to be suitable for general anaesthesia in cats
