Your cat needs to see a vet--possibly a splinter or something else has become infected. Also, check to see that there isn't a rubber band or another object constricting the foot.
ANSWER
above poster is right all ill add is that you should get to a vet asap because infections if left can get very serious and damage its health in general not just the leg.

Typically a cat will have five toes, four on the front of the foot and one up towards the heel. Each toe has a claw, but only the four at the front of the foot also have hairless "pads". The central pad on a cat's foot is not a toe but what would be the ball of a human's foot. Polydactyl cats--having six toes--became famous when Hemingway adopted one. Many "barn" cats are this type of cat.
Normal cats have 4 on each of the front paws and a dew claw, and 4 each on the back. So that is 18 total. Although, some housecats, due to polydactyly can have up to 7 toes on each paw.
it is a cat with extra toes. For example: if front paws have 6 or more toes, or if back paws have 5 or more toes it is concidered a hemmingway
It is not uncommon for some cats to have extra toes on the front or back feet. It is said that a cat with these extra toes are good luck.
No, not all calico cats have six toes
Cats dont have toes they have paws silly
They can, yes, but it is not a breed standard. Some cats can have a genetic deformity that sometimes makes them have six or more toes.

Not necessarily. Cats who have extra toes are called "polydactyl cats." This is caused by a genetic mutation. Their paws may look like they have thumbs or mittens, and it is not dangerous to a cat's health. Sometimes, these cats are actually bred for the extra toes. On the other hand, there are cases in which it can be a potentially serious problem. This is a condition called radial hypoplasia, in which the extra toes are not separate from the normal toes but are adjacent to them. This makes the cat's foot appear flat instead of like a mitten.
All of them. All tigers have four toes on their back paws, and five toes on their front paws. Just like normal domestic cats.
