When should I take my cat to the vet?

My 2-year-old cat has been limping since Monday. We initially thought that she might have pulled a muscle in her leg so we decided to observe for a while but she's still limping. She hasn't been roaming around as often as normal, she's just been hiding in the house. She won't even come when we shake the treat bag or shake her favourite toys. I'm getting concerned, should I take her to the vet or should I observe for a little while longer?

    No you should wait. Then if the cat's limb is broken you can have it amputated.

    WTF? Why would you leave this poor cat limping in pain? So sick of you effing people that let your cats roam then deny them vet care.

    go as soon as possible. a simple tick bite can be deadly...our 3 year old limped around from a tick imbedded in his paw, he contracted a parasite and died from it. not trying yo alarm you but its better to have the vet check it then wait and regret not going.
