Keep your cat feline fine - High blood pressure in cats
Although your cat may seem to have little reason for stress or high blood pressure, feline hypertension is a serious yet common health threat to house cats. High blood pressure in cats can sometimes occur without any discernible cause; however, it is more typically a symptom of another disease. Hypertension can commonly occur in both kidney disease and hyperthyroidism. Obesity and genetic components can also contribute to the likelihood of a cat developing high blood pressure. No matter the cause, high blood pressure can cause significant harm to a cat if not treated promptly.

You might think that the brown spots on your skin are only freckles from sun exposure or normal age spots from the natural aging process, but some of these dark discolorations are serious health problems. Today, many senior citizens are finding strange dark spots on their skin because there wasn't a concern about sunlight exposure long ago. It is important to understand what the dark spots on your skin are along with preventing additional discolorations from the exposure to sunlight.

From time to time, it is common for your interest in sex to not synchronize with your partner’s. It is also normal for your general interest in sex to occasionally fluctuate. However, for some, a decreased libido over a long period of time may be cause for concern. It turns out that hormones, a decrease or increase in them to be more specific, may contribute to a decrease in libido for both women and men.
Women Suffer From Hormone Loss More Than You Think
Obviously, not everyone is a doctor or in the medical field. It stands to reason that not everyone understands hormones and their role in the body. Hormones are much like traffic cops in the body. They direct the hormones to the major systems that each runs. Hormones also control other things such as when we are hot or cold, if we're hungry, and when to sweat.
