Abstract The pathogenesis of hyperfunctional multifocal thyroid adenomas in aging cats is still unknown. We have established 4 cell lines (named PETCAT 1-4) in Berne and 1 cell line (named ROMCAT) in Athens, GA, from toxic adenomatous cat goiters. This study describes some highly individual pro- perties of the 5 feline cell lines and compares them to the rat thyroid cell line FRTL-5.
