Ok.

Are you reluctant to conduct the scan due to health concerns? Do you have to pay for it?

Perhaps he doesn't possess the speciality / knowledge to detect the anomaly's source, but wouldn't the imaging be beneficial for others who might examine it?

Lacking motivation!

Well done.

When we were cleaning the apartment after a tenant's departure, we found a whole drawer full of underwear in the back. How he had managed to go without them is a mystery for the ages, like the current whereabouts of half the socks left in the care of a washing machine.

Ok.

I'm sorry you've been through this apparent string of nonchalant physicians...
One person I know of was discovered to possess a rare form of brain tumor which was initially assumed to be imagined as well.
My father's gone from scan to scan for his knee pains to little avail (other than physiotherapy), for some time.

Do you intend to try the ct scan and additional tests?

Ok.

What's wrong?

Lacking motivation!

I have a list called "motivate". It was supposed to be filled with inspiring statements found during random traversal of the edges of the internet; unfortunately, it looks kinda sad at this point.

Perhaps you could attempt some intellectual pursuit briefly, which wouldn't be so passive, then return to the chores. Or meditate. Or shut down the computer and just start the nearest task.

I'm scared!

Those are the sort of persuasion techniques I was referring to.
I don't think her interest alone would suffice to justify risking what you hold most dear, or "heart" should we permit such a hackneyed term.
Over the course of your life, people have repeatedly betrayed your trust. I'd imagine such treatment leaves its mark. Breaching a circle of distrust may be a worthy cause. Notwithstanding, this is subjectively a high stake situation for trial, objectively perhaps a relatively rare opportunity. You have to be below a certain level of anxiety with your decision.

I don't suppose you'd be comfortable staying with her for those couple days, would you?

That is precisely what I was about to suggest. :)
(Save for the "right now" - more like "couldn't bear to part with him".)

In my experience, you have to be courteous yet firm in your stance, and show little interest in enticement (albeit not outright refusal to avoid insolence).

If you're giving her no reason to be upset, it ought to minimise the chance of that happening. She might be prone to irascibility regardless for not having her way, and that's when you cease placating and stand guard, physically; though it won't come to this point over a feline, methinks.

Since there's no real alternative (to going by your will), you don't have to hesitate.

It isn't inconceivable, mayhap moreso if the father were her only male (though if she had the intent, telling you so is detrimental to the plan), but you should assess whether the risk has a realistic basis, or is amplified to such a level by fear - part of that has to do with knowing your adversary.
Being a breeder herself, she might be harmed by derogation as well. If she has the resources for legal confrontation and knows you don't, that puts you at a disadvantage.
It would be well to have someone familiar with US law & norms weigh in; though @Nix deals with dogs, perhaps she'll have an idea.

I don't think it would be prudent to attempt a lie just yet. As far as I'm aware you don't have a great deal of experience in the art of prevarication (though I might be mistaken), and are emotional; therefore it may be difficult to pull off a reasonable story.

You have at least a day. Stalling for a few more might be an option.

Why do you think this would count as a breach of contract? You reside in your mother's house, after all - whether al's in your room or hers, I doubt a judge would beg to differ.

Aside from the legal aspect, do you trust this woman to hold up her end of the bargain? Do you suspect she'd be willing to do such a thing for profit?

Hello to all..

Welcome back.

That should be a real word. I recommend starting a Facebook campaign to have it added to our lexicon.

Just like covfefe and reciprocal....

It isn't?
