On right lateral projection is very visible a bulge on the dorsal aspect of the hear, probably enlarged left atrium, or less likely hilar linfonode. On both lateral projections vena cava is enlarged, as well as general pulmonary vasculature and cardiac silhouette. On DV and VD projections there is a valentine shaped heart. According to history and age, I would assume severe cardiac failure, with cardiomegaly, though rare in cats.
