Why is my cat rapidly opening/closing mouth like her jaw is stuck?

Question

My cat is doing a weird mouth motion where she opens and closes her mouth rapidly, like she's trying to get her jaw unstuck or something? It's a very odd thing to try to describe, but I worry that something is wrong with her jaw/mouth or teeth. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed

Yes, there could be an issue with her teeth or jaw. I suggest you get her to your vet for an exam. If you could take a video with your phone of the behavior she is exhibiting that would be good. That way you can show the vet what she is doing since she may not do it during the exam.
