Yes you can install a new screen, its not too hard but be sure to get the EXACT model for your laptop, you can usually find them on Amazon, eBay or a local computer store, although that will be the most expensive option.
if youre not comfortable doing it yourself, a shop can replace the screen for you, but its pretty simple. Get a decent set of mini screwdrivers to match your screws, otherwise you could strip them.
quite often when you take your damaged screen out there will be a QR code to scan or a serial number which you can use to figure out the proper replacement. Dont try to use anything with a different resolution, it may work a few times but not for long, and can cause many more troubles.

Solids or liquids?
Depending on how much got in it might be repairable.

@danj The thing that got broken, I think, were the hinges of the screen. The computer randomly turns on when closed or the screen doesn't turn off when the computer is on. I, unfortunately, don't understand what you meant with "liquids or solids", so I can't really answer to this question.

"my cat decided to drop a thing on it," What did the cat drop?
Did the cat defecate or urinate?

@notpauca - OK, I'll bite how big a cat do you have? This sounds like a human not a furry feline pet ;-}
