Worried about the cat ....

Pets man .... for awhile now, Mittens has been babying her paw .... yet she jumps up on things and walks on it too, doesn't seem to be in distress and yet, continues to limp around ... I can touch everywhere from her shoulder down to the pads of her paw without her being any more standoff-ish than she usually is ... I have made an appointment for her to see the vet in early January if she is still limping around ....
