A 9-month-old intact female Persian cat presented with recurrent pulmonary edema secondary to an elongated soft palate.

Partial resection of the soft palate was performed and the cat showed no further respiratory signs. This report is the first description of elongated soft palate causing airway obstruction in a brachycephalic cat.
