Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 7 lbs
I just recused an older cat, but she seems to have jaw problems. It looks like it gets stuck and shes pawing at her jaw. Now it seems like she cant close her jaw and is in pain.

You need to take Lilo into a vet now, she sounds extremely uncomfortable and it's serious if she's pawing at her jaw. Please take her into an ER vet clinic; if there isn't one in your area, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website. Best of luck.
