All the animals have injected Atropin sulfate with dose 0.1 mg/Kg body weight intramuscular as a premedication. The result of this study of Zoletil in Felidae are shown that the animals have not in respiratory depression and during anaesthesia have done the body temperature means about 36.9º C, Pulsus rate is 100.8 times/minutes and Respiration rate is 21.7times/minutes. The studi of Ketamine the data shown during anaesthesia the means of the body temperature of the cats is 38.4º C with pulsus rate is 85.1 times/minutes and respiration rate is 41.1 time/minutes. We have assumed that study of the drug have a great effect of the animals in practice look like in cats or the wild animals for restraint or anaesthesia of short duration.
