Hi there, i don't know where to ask questions about my cat but i think here is the right place.

My cat hasn't been himself lately, i notice that his not very active, and likes to just sleep around and laze here and there. I also notice that he coughs and sneezes a lot as well. Not too sure if this is related but my John John scratches his left ears a lot, up to the extend that his hind legs enters the ear canal, and the other day there was this dried liquid oozing from the ear.

My parents are reluctant to bring the car to the vet for reasons that the cat is always like that (which kinda pisses me off because im 20 and im not stupid) so if there is any cause for concerns i would bring it to the vet. So if you could please help out, i would appreciate it very much! Cheers
