Moose is limping because he is in pain. He sounds pretty painful if he won't put any pressure on the leg when standing or walking. Unfortunately there are no OTC pain medications you can give him. Many human ones are toxic to cats and are fatal if given. I think it would be best to rest him tonight. No running, jumping, or playing. Then take him into the vet first thing in the morning. I hope this helps!
