My 11 year old cat was just diagnosed with high blood pressure. It was discovered because the vet heard a cat murmur. I took her for a cardiac ultrasound which found she has mitral valve prolapse from thickening of the artery. This thickening causes the high BP. She is now on 1/2 of a 30 mg generic Norvasc each day. She occasionally would make moaning sounds during the night. The vet said cats can get headaches from BP as humans do. I immediately put her on the meds; don't want her to be in pain or to go blind.
