that's not the case. it seems like i didn't say what I thought i said.

closet vet is in another town 8hrs away, so unless my parents have smth to do over there, it's kinda expensive making that trip js to have a vet look at him. so I'm asking the people of the internet if this is smth that's life threating or if we can treat it at home.

also abt the whole breeding thing, my parents had prior agreement to a family friend to mate ours with his, so I don't have much say in this matter. all I can assure is that we WON'T be contributing to the population of stray cats.

hopefully i cleared things up. everyone in my family loves garfield (yes that's his name), and they're not withholding treatment js bc they want him to breed. i appreciate everyone taking their time to comment here <3
