Cats are pretty resilient. I've had friends who's cats have jumped or fallen out 2 story windows or from balconies and have been perfectly fine. Keep an eye on him to make sure he's alright and if anything changes, take him to a vet. He'll probably be just fine though.

Just keep an eye on him for the next 24 hours or so. Make sure he's eating and using the litterbox as usual. Sounds like there are no broken bones, so internal bleeding would be my only concern. As long as he seems to be doing ok after about 24 hours he's probably fine!

Watch him for the next 24 hrs, make sure he's eating and drinking, watch for blood in his stools and check his gums every once in a while if they are turning white he could have internal bleeding, then take him to a vet right away. Cats usually land on their feet but it still wouldn't hurt to keep an eye on him. good luck.

The first thing that hits after the feet is the chin then the head.
Check for broken or cracked teeth, sore jaws, dislocated jaw, split skin in front of the nose, dialated pupils. Not every cat that seems fine is actually ok. They get concussions and broken bones just like us.

Honestly I'd consider taking your cat to the vet regardless. At the very least watch him very, very carefully for any sign of discomfort.
Cat's hide their weaknesses and injuries instinctively. Its a survival technique. They usually won't show you that they're injured even if they're in quite a bit of pain.
Its best to play it safe.

Monitor him very closely. If anything seems off, don't wait until tomorrow, get to the emergency clinic, but there is a good chance he is probably just fine.

Got to a vet ASAP, there could be internal injuries, the poor thing. She might have a concussion or something could've happened to the old noodle!

Check if he's walking ok. My Izzy fell from the dresser and now has an ankle sprain.

The windows should always be closed keep them closed! Touch the cat's stomach and rump. To see if its sore.
