Excel 2007 tables automatically display filter arrows beside each of
the column headings. Often these filter arrows obstruct the contents
of the headings (especially if the columns are narrow). Is it possible
to display the arrows only when the cell is selected (or better yet
when your mouse hovers over the cell) ? I don't want to disable the
filter capability of the table I just don't want the arrows to
obstruct my view.

Select the headers and use the Filter button.
