That looks more like dental disease or an infection. Both of which need to be addressed as they can be painful and lead to other health conditions within the body. Here are some helpful links about dental health: https://www.petcoach.co/article/4-ways-to-treat-dental-disease-in-pets/ https://www.petcoach.co/article/a-comprehensive-dental-care-program-for-your-cat/ I recommend to have your cat examined by the veterinarian. They will give you an idea of what to expect- both procedure wise as well as cost. Best to get this taken care of sooner rather than later. Please feel free to post any additional questions.
