I get so upset with people like you! You take in a pet and when it needs your help you let it rot. That is not fair! It needs a vet, so take him to the damn vet!!

The bones could heal wrong, which is why they usually check the paw and wrap it to heal properly.
That's got to be very painful for the cat. I broke my hand in 8th grade, even with medical help it hurt for a long time. I would say to get him in by the vet to see how badly it's hurt, there could be more than one bone broken in there, and see what needs to be done. If it heals wrong it could hurt him all his life.

Your cat need to go to the vet and have his paw examined. The vet will make sure it is set correctly. If you don't go to the vet promptly, there is a chance the bones will set wrong and the cat will have problems forever.

Probably about as long as it'd take for a human broken hand or foot to heal without seeking medical attention - a long time! You could be setting your cat up with infection, possible deformity, and letting him suffer. He needs to have some x-rays taken and started on pain medications.

It will never heal the cat will not be able to walk right ever.
It will probably be in a lot of pain all the time.
You are being cruel by not taking him in to get it fixed.
\How would you like to walk around with a broken ankle and never get it fixed. you would be crippled all your life and be in a lot of pain.
Think how the poor cat feels. The law looks at that as cruelty to animals...

Probably never!!! It will not heal correctly and be very painful. Would you like to wait for a wrist or ankle bone to heal on it's own? Please take the cat to a vet.

you must be kidding
even if the break isnt that bad he will need pain relief. if money is an issue cheaper options are available - cage rest/ casting but needs to be seen soon after the accident or the bone will set abnormally. your cat is in a tremendous amount of pain shame on you
