Vetting

So I have a cat; I've just always choosen not to blog
about said cat co-habitation.
I call the cat, on occasion, Zizek.
He is a very low maintainance cat. For example,
he came to us just about a year ago
w/all of his shots
and w/o his balls.

He prowls about outside the house from time to time. Today,
I've been informed that he not only has a small "mark/sore" on his back,
but that he also has formed a bit of a limp.
Just now, he didn't purr when I pet him. Unusual.

To the vet? Sure. Only,
I need new lens for my reading glasses this week
and, frankly, b/c of monetary reasons,
I've avoided my own MD on the past 2 occasions
of a possible ear infection.
Even though I realize that ideal-living w/a cat
means an occasional (if not regular) visit to the vet,
I think I will have to wait out Zizek's symptoms a couple of days . . .
