Yes he may have broken his tail, and yes he should be taken to the vet, right away. Broken bones can get infection quickly, (and cats hide how much pain they are in.)

Do get him to the vet today.

Welcome to the forum, and please let us know how he's doing.

This is how my cat's tail looked before I got it docked. It required surgery. If left too long, it can cause a lot of pain and infections, with complications. I found a vet that removed the tail for only $60, but I don't know how much it would be if your cat simply has a broken tail. But I agree with above poster. Vet now. No worries or regrets later.
