Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 6 years and 11 months old
My cat has been limping for almost 2 days his front paw seems to be hurt. He can still get around and jump up a little without using his hurt paw. When i touched his paw he seemed ok i'm thinking it might be his paw or paw pads/claws. He also has a patch of hair missing.

It could be an abscess or a nail injury, you will need to take Fuzzy to the vet in order to get it checked, in most cases an antibiotic injection and a few days of pain killers will solve the problem.

This looks like a puncture wound, i suspect he is suffering from an abscess or infection in the leg due to this injury, you will need to take him to the vet in order to get it checked and treated, he will need an antibiotic course at the very least.
