Thanks for your kind words Astarte. *hugs* I have decided not to take Buff to the vet for the time being because he is as well as you can expect an ancient alley cat to be and he would definitely find a trip to the vet very stressful. So as long as he is not in any pain I will not distress him, or me, with a trip to the vets. Both of my other cats are vaccinated against Leukaemia so they should be safe and if Buff has it having him diagnosed will just make me fret about him more.
