My cat's muzzle is wet, brown, and mouth moving as if chewing. Why?

Question

My cat's muzzle is wet and has some brown-ish, reddish color to it, and his mouth opens and closes like he's chewing something but he's not. It has been happening since yesterday. I don't know what's going on, i'm very concerned. Pet's info: Cat | Asian | Male | 6 months and 27 days old

I recommend to have Loki examined by his veterinarian today. The skin it’s self looks infected and the fact that he is opening and closing his mouth is concerning for either the infection affecting the interior of his mouth, a foreign object stuck in his mouth, and infected tooth or a significant pain. He needs an exam to know what the underlying cause is. I hope he starts feeling better quickly and please feel free to post any additional questions.
