Take him to the vet & get it x-rayed if he's unable to walk on it.

You don't want a broken leg to heal by itself without being re-set. It could lead to a permanent limp.
Take the kitten to the vet and if the leg is broke, the vet will re-set the leg and allow it to heal, properly.
Also, you may need to get some anti-biotics for the kitten

you should take your kitten to the vet as soon as possible for an x-ray if your kitten is limping and favoring one foot in particular you should first check the pads of the paw if your kitten has stepped on a peice of glass or a thorn it can cause pain and tenderness other than that if the cause is unknown call your local vetranry office and atleast speak to a nurse. GOOD LUCK!

Is she walking on it? Is she behaving differently? Like breathing funny like she may be distressed? I think most animals will get really upset and protective over a broken bone. If she gets upset when you go near her, or particularly her leg I would be concerned.
The only way to be sure is to get an x-ray. Usually their fur is in the way, and their legs so little, it may be hard to tell. Plus by trying to check yourself you could cause more injury.
Good luck, I hope everything works out. Maybe it will just be a sprain or something.

If the cat looks like it has trouble walking, is limping, or can't walk at all then there is a great possibility that its leg is broken..take it to a vet

If you squeeze it and it screams it is prolly broken. best way is just take to a vet. Don't confuse a birth defect with broken leg tho. Whn my cat was a kitten, it looked like a bow-legged bulldog (which is why I think I liked it so much) One leg is now normal but other is still curved.

must be pathologic fractures from a deficiency of a few type. Any bloodwork finished? acceptable nutrition in view that kitten? Did he have a momma cat to enhance him or grow to be kitten milk replacer used? Sorry to take heed to of his broken bones, yet cats are remarkable healers. One in our rescue had a pelvis fractured in 4 places. With cage relax, soreness meds, and tlc, she is now happy and healthful and getting around in simple terms advantageous. maximum suitable of luck to the little guy.

Take your cat to a vetrinarian or a friend who knows a lot about animal care. Thats the best way to go to make sure you dont hurt your cat trying to find out.

monitor it's movement, if its in any pain or has broken its leg, then it'll limp then carefully feel up and down its leg that limps to see if there's a fracture then take him to a vet

WHY THE HECK would you sit around, asking this question on this stupid board. If you think your cat has a broken leg, TAKE IT TO THE FREAKING VET
