I knew #cats could have their blood pressure taken, but it only just occurred me to today to look up photos of it, and they are even better than I imagined.

Not only do they have tiny blood pressure cuffs, they can take their pressure either on their legs or on their TAILS‽

Stock photo of a calico cat sitting surprisingly calmly on a vet's stainless steel exam table. A blue automatic blood pressure meter is sitting in front of it, connected by a hose to a small red cuff wrapped around the cat's tail. A tabby cat lying on an exam table with a concerned expression. A person is holding it while it gets its blood pressure taken through a white cuff with green paw prints wrapped around one of its front legs. A light brown tabby cat sitting up on an table next to a blood pressure meter, with a blue blood pressure cuff around its front leg. It looks confused by this situation. A fairly chonky tabby cat on a towel-covered exam table, seemingly nonplussed by having a red blood pressure cuff wrapped around the base of its tail.

@dan@discuss.systems That first one looks like she's about four seconds from murder mode blobcatheart

This is, presumably, not a recommended technique.

#cats

A human blood pressure cuff wrapped around a light-colored cat’s entire body. It’s connected to a meter that is reading a pulse of 33 somehow.
