Why is my kitten limping with a bent leg after a recliner accident?

Question

Today my foster kitten got under my recliner. When i ata down i heard a loud meow. He started hissing at my other csts. I picked him up and he seemed ok. But i put him down and he troed going for his bed. He wouldnt walk on his back right foot. He got his bed. I felt for any broken limb and there wasnt one. He rested for an hour then got up. He is now truing to walm on it. But cant put much pressure. And it looks bent. But he is also walking on the tip. And only seems in pain lying dowm. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | 1lb

There are many possible ways a kitten could become injured but a bite from another cat causing a cat bite abscess is quite possible. I am concerned that the leg appears bent but without a picture it is impossible to advise further, a full vet check would be recommended if the lameness does not improve after 4-6hours rest
