				Abstract 
 
				
				
				Aim: 
				
				The success of a skin graft in a cat is highly dependent on the 
				granulation formed by the base of recipient bed. Granulation by 
				the base of recipient bed will form after several days after 
				injury. This research aimed to observe subjective and objective 
				profile of skin graft recovery on forelimb of cats with 
				different periods of donor skin placement. 
				
				
				Materials and Methods: 
				
				Nine male Indonesian local cats aged 1-2 years old, weighing 3-4 
				kg were divided into three groups. The first surgery for 
				creating defect wound of 2 cm×2 cm in size was performed in the 
				whole group. The wound was left for several days with the 
				respective interval for each group, respectively: Group I (for 2 
				days), Group II (for 4 days), and Group III (for 6 days). In the 
				whole group, the second surgery was done by the harvesting skin 
				of thoracic area which then applied on recipient bed of 
				respective groups. 
				
				
				Result: 
				
				The donor skin on Group II was accepted faster compared to Group 
				I and Group III. The donor skin did not show color differences 
				compared to surrounding skin, painless, bright red in bleeding 
				test had faster both hair growth and drug absorption. Test 
				toward the size of donor skin and the effect of drugs did not 
				show a significant difference between each group. 
				
				
				Conclusion: 
				
				The observe subjective and objective profile of skin graft 
				recovery on forelimb of cats on Group II were accepted faster 
				compared to Group I and III. 
				
				Keywords: 
				
				auto skin graft, cats, observation.
