A bmx bike fell into my cat and she managed to run away, but ended up limping. It was her back leg Her attitude dint change, still playful, is eating properly and drinking properly. Its still day 3 after her injury, i saw her using her foot to scratch herself but she still wont use it, still limping. Also i've noticed that whenever she walks  towards something she lie down and just looks at it. Will the limp be cure on its own?

I suggest having a vet take a look at the leg. It may be fractured or sprained or just very very painful.

It really depends where the injury is, and how bad it is. It's a good sign that she is eating and drinking, a cat in pain will usually not.  Is it swollen or deformed in any way? Will she allow you to touch it? Does she cry out in pain when she tries to walk? It is a good sign that she can move it, is she putting any weight at all on it? If so, no matter how brief, and if there seems to be some improvement, no matter how small, that is a good sign that she is healing. Of course the best thing would be to take her in fro an x-ray, 50-100 dollars, is she due for shots or a checkup? Then you could combine the visits and it would be cheaper. You could also call and talk to your vet, they could advise you. If it's not getting any better in a week, you had better take her in, it would be cruel to have her suffer any longer then that. All the luck!

she does put a weight on it when she go for a jump or when she stretches and no swollen part. When i try to touch it, nothing she just looks at me and thought that i was gonna play with her.

Thanks for the advice

Yes i would do that if it doesn't improve in 5-7 days
