'''''Haemophilus felis''''' is a [[Gram-negative]] species of [[bacterium]] of the family [[Pasteurellaceae]]. A strain of this species was originally isolated from the respiratory tract of a cat with [[chronic obstructive pulmonary disease]], though it was also found in healthy cats.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite journal|last1=Inzana|first1=TJ|last2=Johnson|first2=JL|last3=Shell|first3=L|last4=Møller|first4=K|last5=Kilian|first5=M|title=Isolation and characterization of a newly identified Haemophilus species from cats: &quot;Haemophilus felis&quot;.|journal=Journal of Clinical Microbiology|date=Aug 1992|volume=30|issue=8|pages=2108–12|pmid=1500518|pmc=265452}}&lt;/ref&gt; The species may be closely related (on the basis of ''[[rpoB]]'' sequence) to ''[[Pasteurella multocida]]''.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite journal|last1=Korczak|first1=B.|title=Phylogeny of the family Pasteurellaceae based on rpoB sequences|journal=International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology|date=1 July 2004|volume=54|issue=4|pages=1393–1399|doi=10.1099/ijs.0.03043-0}}&lt;/ref&gt;
