No nociceptive signs were seen in the surgical procedure and postoperative pain was assessed by the multidimensional scale of UNESP-Botucatu for the assessment of acute postoperative pain in cats, and it can be concluded that the QL-block is also viable in the feline species, providing good visceral abdominal analgesia.
