I have to take my cat to the vet tomorrow. On Friday I noticed the lymph nodes under her jaw are huge. She has lost weight but I just thought it was from the heat. She's an indoor/outdoor cat and very high strong and hyper so I figured she was just using up a lot of calories. I hope it's nothing serious, she is a pain in the butt but a very cute pain in the butt.

Yep. Soccer. I will not call it football.

Of course you can call it soccer, it's a British slang word for the game after all.
But it is called football also, whether you wish to use the word or not.
About two centuries ago, the sport which is formally called 'Association Football' was referred to as 'soccia' (from 'association'), informally and this evolved into 'socca' and later into 'soccer' as it appears the British liked words ending in 'er' at the time, hence 'rugger' used informally for rugby.
The British informally referred to it as such for a long time, until it was picked up and used in the US and, to a lesser extent, In Canada, as the ' official' term for the sport as the Americans had evolved another game that they called football.
At this point 'soccer' became an Americanism and was largely dropped from British usage.
The rest of the world , of course, call it football anyway.
This is quite funny.( In my opinion, anyway.)
