My beloved 7 year old shop cat went to the vet yesterday.The vet told us that she had heard a heart murmur, and it was a class 1 of 6, 1 being the mildest. This has never shown up before. The little guy is very active and acts like he feels great. The vet recommended having an ultrasound done and possibly puting him on a heart medicine (a Beta-blocker)The test is going to cost 300-400$ and even if they find something, there is really no treatment other than a medicine (which patients tell me makes them feel like c$%p.)

I am kind of looking at this as unneccessary due to the fact that the cat has no symptoms at all and most sources tell me that this can be produced by stress. (Pretend you are a cat: Someone puts you in a crate and takes you to the vet where a strange person takes your temp and gives you shots while a dog barks loudly in the background... think you would be stressed?) I dont want to neglect the little fella..he has been a loyal companion since he was a tiny kitten, but I dont want to suject him to tests that may or may not be any good. Opinions?

When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and
