Louis J. Camuti (August 30, 1893 – February 24, 1981) was a New York City cat veterinarian who made housecalls on cats and their people for over sixty years. He was the first veterinarian in the United States to devote his entire practice to cats. Camuti and Lloyd Alexander were the authors of ''Park Avenue Vet'' (Deutsch, 1962).〔 (''Park Avenue Vet'' ).

When the pot boiled over, gas began to fill the home. Their cat jumped onto his chest and weaved her head back and forth. He was too weak to get out of bed, and felt the cats efforts may have saved his life. Camuti began specializing in cats around 1932-33. At the time, veterinarians did not spend much time providing services to cats.〔''Cat People'', Bill Hayward, introduction by Rogers E. M. Whitaker.
