I was petting one of the kittens when I hearf a very loud scream of Qays!
We all got scared (me and his sister and brother) I saw him trying to jump off a wooden sofa, but somehow his leg got stuck up there and he screamed... he fell down and limped away. I carried him, amd when I touched his hip he cried.... now he is laying down next to me but he doesn't want me to touch him...

His bone is fine...but he cried... is his leg dislocated? Ia it a muscle?
It is too late for a vet now!

Is there anything I can/should do?

My cat disappeared for three days and when he came back, he was only walking on 3 legs. After a few days, he started walking on it.

I would keep and eye on it. Might be just a sprain. Those can hurt.

Take him to the vet tomorrow if he is still visibly hurt.  Confine him tonight in a small space so he'll be less likely to aggravate the injury.
