My boyfriends cats jaw is slanted, but we don't think it's broken.

Like in the title, my boyfriend's cats jaw is slanted but we don't think it's broken. And we don't think it's broken because he still chews with ease, showing no pain or discomfort at all, and he still eats the same amount. He can still meow and move his jaw. He acts like nothing's wrong, there's no weakness in his neck, he doesn't wobble when he walks. One of his lips are drooping too, but he's not drooling. I'm doing to post a link to a picture of him (I hope it works) https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/s403x403/1013541_684834938199760_1797403277_n.jpg

If this is new, definitely take him to the vet.  He might have some kind of a local muscle paralysis, maybe from a spider bite?  Just guessing here and could be way off.

the photo is a little hard to see since your kitty is so dark...
I'm just curious to know if this kitty suffered any trauma or if he was born this way?
xrays would be the only way to know for sure if the jaw is broken or just deformed, I urge you to find out just in case...
