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.

Simon came to us by mistake...I almost ran him over at 2 in the morning one cold day in the dead of winter in Massachusetts while I was delivering newspapers. I tried unsuccessfully to find his owner, so he became ours. He was neutered and declawed when we got him.
We have a feeling that Simon might have been abused by his previous owners. He can't hear properly and sometimes walks into walls. He is the sweetest, fattest cat we've ever seen and is full of love =)
