A vet told me to feel up under the leg at the top of the femur, in the hollow area we consider the groin.
What do you hope to accomplish by this? A vet usually checks heart rate when he does an annual exam. The vet usually does this with a stethoscope to the chest.

You can simply "feel" the heartbeat on the cat and count, I usually count the beats for 15 seconds and then multiply by 4. This will tell you the beats per minute. They also have a pulse that you can usually feel on the inside of their rear legs, near the center. You will have to feel around on the cat's rear legs to feel the exact spot, and again count the beats for 15 seconds and multiply by 4 for the bpm. This is similar to taking your own pulse on your wrist or neck, and may not be quite as accurate as a vet actually listening to the heartbeat by a stethascope.

I wouldn't; the Vet would. With first a stethoscope, than a heart meter.
