Just like behavioral quirks there are sometimes physical quirks. That
one of ours who had enlarged nodes forever as a personal variation
also had a very high heart rate. As a kit they expected her lifespan
to be shortened but she managed to reach elderly.

>Ok, maybe I am just a tad paranoid.

That's okay. Better to be careful and catch a problem early than to
miss one. Even being careful they sometimes can be missed, but the
chances of helpful action are better for all. We check enough to
make even vets wonder sometimes... So, let the vet examine and do
testing the vet feels makes sense.

>Maybe I will just go and hide under my blanket for a while.

Naw, only do it if it's fun. Better to swing in a hammock or play
with a bell ball, or... Oh, wait, that's for ferrets. (Okay,
SOMETIMES for the ferrets.)
