A theorem of M. Katětov asserts that a bounded uniformly continuous function f on a subspace Q of a uniform space P has a bounded uniformly continuous extension to all of P. In this note we give new proofs of two special cases of this theorem: (i) Q is totally bounded, and (ii) P is a locally compact group and Q is a subgroup, both P and Q having the left uniformity.
