Angry Poorly cat..please help

I have a lovely 7 yr old cat named yogi who looks exactly like felix, but over the past few days everytime i come home and let him in he just lies on the floor and his back legs go, this happens for about 15mins then he is okay. But he seems to just want to lie around and sleep a lot more. Its awful as he does not know whats happening. I have felt his back legs, and it seems a bit sore at the top near his bottom. Due to work i have not been able to get the vet yet...can anyone help?

Take the cat to the vet. If your vet doesn't have convenient hours find
another vet who does.

You know this is serious and that you have to take him to the vet.
Please take him today, if you love him.

Regardless of your work schedule, get the cat to a vet. There is no way any
of us can diagnose the cat from here nor help it which is what it needs. Get
out of work how you can ... lie, cheat, steal, call in sick. Whatever you
have to do. If you were in the same situation as the cat, would you ignore
going to the doctor?

Work schedules are no excuse. Any vet will let you bring your cat in and
leave it during the day. Mine is open at 7am just for this reason.

Then it's likely you can make an appointment for late afternoon/early
evening.

Sometimes I've told the people at work that I had to leave an hour early
to get to a doctor's appointment -- I just didn't tell them what type of
doctor (DVM) the appointment was with.

Then they go home on their lunch hour. They leave the cat at night. They
have a friend or relative take the cat. They go to a 24 hour emergency vet.

One place I worked at, a well known computer company, insisted that any
medical appointments be deducted from vacation time.
