Poor little dude

fatrockstarMy poor little buddy has been swollen around his belly for several weeks with no improvement in sight. You can tell it keeps him from walking or sitting properly, and he's gained enough weight that big jumps are tough.
A few days ago Charlotte and I were in the den and caught Grady barely finishing a jump from the floor to the back of the sofa. A day or so after that I noticed his paw looked funny. Further examination revealed an injury to one of his toes.
Grady does have a tendency to stick his paws under our feet when begging, but when he gets stepped on we hear all about it. This had to be from the clumsy jump we witnessed.
I don't think my cat is simply "old and fat." I think he has a problem that needs to be addressed. Grady might need a ride or two to the vet once I have the money to pay the bill. Luckily that might not be too far off.
This is a really dark and blurry snap of his poor liddle toes:
