More Kitty Problems.

Tonight we came home to find our cat, Pepper, with a clicking jaw. He can meow, and eat, but it's like he keeps trying to put it back in place or something. He can open his jaw wide, and close it, but it shudders (for lack of a better word) when opening/closing. It really seems like a dislocation (I, unfortunately, know a lot about 'em personally

I've found that alot of cats will stick out their tongues and for oddly long periods of time for a human. I think the jaw problem and the tongue are unrelated.

I think you're right. He's just a weird tongue-sticker-outer, ha. I think the drool ratio would be in direct proportion to tongue exposure, but he doesn't seem to drool too much, thank goodness.

And an update: his jaw is fine now. Shortly after I posted this, I turned the faucet on low to give him a little treat of his favorite drinking spot, and I think the odd position he held his head in popped it back in place. He's just fine now, yay!
