Two trematodes are recorded for the first time as accidental intestinal parasites of the domestic cats Felis cattus L. in Assiut Governorate. One of them belonged to Paramphistomatidae; Megalodiscus sp. and the other was Cephalogonimidae; Emolepta lea sp. They are parasites of frogs and fishes respectively. The presence of the two parasites in cat denotes possible graudual adaptation of parasites of amphibians and fishes into new habitats in fish-eating mammals.
