A dislocated hip is extraordinarily painful to put weight on, so your cat will be "three-legged lame" - walking but not putting weight on the leg with the dislocated hip. The hip area will also look different as compared to the normal side. Final confirmation will be made by a veterinarian after a physical examination and hip radiographs (X-rays).
See if she's limping, turning her nose up at food, or staring at the floor. If she's not doing that, then the cat is fine. If she is, check the paw to see if there's something like a thorn or a piece of glass in there. If the paw isn't the problem, get the cat to a vet. (And then get a bandage to put on the numerous scratches you got for trying to see her paw and then taking her on a car trip!) i have been to the vet, but she says the paw is dead however i can feel warmth and a small pulse which to me would indicate circulation of blood which im quite sure doesnt happen when something is dead. She is eating fine but limping terribly and holding her leg funny, and she crys if we try to apply light pressure to he shoulder, it also feels weird in comparaison to the other shoulder more bumpy if that makes any sense. The leg itself is just floppy as if it was asleep or something. i will go back to the vet and see if i can get a 2nd opinion. Thanks!
If he or she is limping and not using the leg, you need to take the cat to a veterinarian, who can x-ray the cat and see if the leg is broken.
Their gait may change, they may have difficulty standing up. This could be due to Hip Dysplasia.
Check if your dog can put it's leg on the ground. That could be a sign
If it is broken, your cat may consistently lie down or limp around, and it's leg would probably be bent.
It can break it's hip in many ways having something fall/or thrown at it with force, but the most common way is for it to jump and fall not paws first, but hip first.

How can you tell if a sparrow has a broken leg and how can you fix it?
You can tell if a sparrow has a broken leg if it is unable to bear weight on the affected leg, holding it at an unusual angle, or if there is swelling or deformity. To help fix it, you should contact a wildlife rehabilitator or veterinarian for proper treatment and care, as they will need specialized assistance to recover. Avoid handling the bird too much to prevent causing further stress or injury.

A puppy's leg may not be dislocated if you don't feel anything out of place and it looks normal, but it may still be injured. Your puppy may just have a sore muscle, but she may also have a broken bone or other damage. Take her to a veterinarian if she continues to limp.
