Systolic blood pressure measurement in cats using the Doppler ultrasonic technique; in a sitting position (a), in sternal recumbency (b) and in lateral recumbency (c). Points of note are to restrain the cat gently in a comfortable position and to hold the cuff at the level of the heart base. In cats, the authors always use headphones to avoid stress hypertension due to the sounds of the Doppler machine and to improve audibility of the Doppler sounds
