Christ, this why I don't come to /an/ anymore (was aiming for /a/), you people are fucking retarded.
It sounds like there is most likely already an infection. Get someone else (friend, relative, neighbor, friendly hobo) to restrain him so you can make sure the wounded area is entirely clean and remove any excess dirt and debris from his foot. The best way to restrain him is wrap him in a towel, making sure to cover his head. If it's between his toes, place some gauze in the area between his toes, then wrap his entire foot with a layer of gauze followed by a self adhesive ace-type bandage. He's not going to be too happy about this, but it's the only real way to keep it clean and free from infection (if it isn't infected already) until you can get him to the vet on Monday. Keep him inside, and consider calling around because some vets are open Sunday or you may at least be able to speak with a vet over the phone (many vets provide numbers to be used in case of an emergency).
Also, did you not figure when the last cat met it's horrid end under someone's tires, that perhaps the outdoors is not the safest place for your cat? The number of ways that a cat can be killed or mangled outside is astonishing, and to simply shrug and say "oh well, I hope the next one fares better" is the epitome of fucktardom.
