I think any pet has the potential of helping lower BP.  Nothing like a good cuddle from your pet to help relax you and lower your BP. Will it lower it to the point of curing high BP, maybe, but not likely. 
But, an ornery pet that causes chaos could also increase BP    😉

Limiting salt intake is an important management in conjunction with the treatment of hypertension. For cats with severe renal failure, kidney prescription food is a good choice. Obese cats should lose weight scientifically.

Yes, spending time with cats and listening to their purrs can help reduce stress and promote relaxation, which may contribute to lower blood pressure. The soothing presence of a cat and the calming sound of purring have been associated with decreased anxiety and improved heart health, making them a beneficial part of a healthy lifestyle for managing blood pressure.

I believe that they do.

I have no idea of that, but living with your lovely pets give you the feeling of relax, love and happiness and they would help maintain your good health :)

Great question!  Pets can overall help people with happiness and health benefits.  I believe, yes, it has been proven that pets can help with the lowering of blood pressure.  This is what I've read in books.
