He jumped on the stove. Is it something to be worried about?

What a cute kitty! I am sorry to hear about his accident. I would recommend having his veterinarian take a look at his paws. Burns can worsen over several days so if this just occurred, we may be seeing this worsen before it gets better. The area may become painful and can be a site for infection to develop, so prescription medication to help treat pain and potential infection/aid in healing of the paw pads may be needed. I would call your vet first thing when they open for an exam. If Friskie is in pain tonight, then a trip to the emergency vet may be warranted. Best of luck to you and Friskie.
