Limping means that Patrick is in pain. I see what you mean about the leg in the picture. I recommend resting him for the next 48 hours. No running, jumping, or playing. Keep him indoors if he's allowed outside, and confine him to a small room to limit movement. Make sure he has food, water, and a litter box there. If he still appears painful after this time, then I would take him into the vet for an exam. The vet can diagnose where the pain is coming from, and can dictate a treatment plan for it. He may also benefit from some pain medications, which the vet can prescribe. Please do not give him any human pain medications, as many are toxic to cats and are fatal if given.
