Older cats should have routine blood pressure tests

Older cats should be routinely checked for high blood pressure which appears not to happen at the present. This is because it occurs quite frequently in older cats and can exacerbate kidney failure and cause other damage to the organs such as eyes and heart. High blood pressure is called hypertension. Cats with hyperthyroidism and renal failure are more likely to have hypertension.
