Knee Cap to Nite Cap: If you can't walk or extend your knee, get it looked at now. But if you can walk and the pain is confined to the knee cap, bets are good that it's just bruised and will get better. Hitting any boney prominence (elbow, ankle, knee, ribs) hurts a lot and can hurt for quite a while. If you just bumped it I wouldn't worry too much It takes a lot of force to crack a kneecap. Give it two weeks.

Patella: fracture of the Patella can happen with direct trauma. You should get an evaluation and xray. Maybe cats can
