My cat's paw pad is dangling, not bleeding. What should I do?

Question

My cat has a piece of his paw pad dangling off his back paw. It's not bleeding, he's not limping, not red/sore, no funny odors or anything coming from it. He walks on it just fine. Should I be worried? Is there something that I should do? Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Male | neutered | 30 lbs

Poor Buddy! I would have him seen by a vet for this problem first thing in the morning to get treated. This piece of paw pad may need to be removed or stitched back into place. Tonight, rest him. Keep him indoors if he's allowed outside. Best of luck.
