It occurs to me I don't know how complex a EKG you could do on a cat.


The human standard (not simpler telemetry) is "12-lead", which

actually
use 9 or 10 wires -- some of the "leads" are combinations. You
certainly couldn't get standard EKG electrodes onto a cat's chest for


the 6 frontal positions -- they would be larger than the cat!

My guess is that somewhere between 3 and 5 spots have to be shaved.
That's probabky the unpleasant part, as well as lying still for the
minute or so of the actual measurement.
