Yes, it is possible, depending on the type of break/fracture. Humans and animals alike can remain ambulatory with multiple types of fractures. When a fracture is displaced (bone ends have moved away from each other) is the only fractures that make weight baring impossible. But regardless of the type of fracture, continuous weight baring typically causes further tissue damage.

If the cat's paw is broken, it needs to be seen by a vet, who will likely put a cast on the paw. Whether or not the cat can walk depends on the type of break, where it is, and the type of cast (if any) is used.
