High Blood Pressure in Cats – Feline Hypertension – Pet tip 238
Although any cat can suffer from high blood pressure (hypertension) it is most commonly seen in middle aged or senior cats. In case we have forgotten what blood pressure means, blood pressure refers to the force (pressure) of circulating blood against the walls of blood vessels; the higher the force, the greater the amount of stress that’s put on the heart to move the blood. This can cause the heart muscles to enlarge, get thicker, and weaken thereby reducing life expectancy. It’s one of the vital signs used to measure the overall health of many animals including humans.

Pepper is a big personality in a tiny body. This girl is fearless! She is very adventurous and has a knack for getting into trouble.
We adopted her from a no-kill shelter after several adoptions fell through. Pepper has a "profound" heart murmur and is not expected to have a long life. She is approximately 2 years old now and is determined to pack as much fun and adventure into her life as possible. Someone evidently forgot to tell her that she's supposed to be "fragile", because that's the last word I would use to describe her.
