Thank you to those who offered some advice on Fredrick's problem. I've taken him to the vet and everything is ok!! The vet said that it could have been the collar incident that caused his jaw to make a cracking sound.
She said he will probably outgrow it since he is still a growing kitty. He would have been in tremendous pain if something was terribly wrong with his jaw.
Thanks!

Hi,
That is an unusual one. The funny thing is I sometimes have a clicking jaw, but it comes and goes.
He may have dislodged his jaw during the accident, which hasn’t caused any pain but is just slightly misaligned and causes a clicking sound. I don't know if a vet can do anything about this or whether it is something that will over time fix it self. It may worth telephone the vet’s office for some advice. But it's a good sign that he is still eating and does not seem to be in pain.
Sorry I couldn't be more specific but as I say it may just be worth checking with the vet’s office, they may have come across this before.

I'm not sure what that could be.........your best bet is to take kitty to vet and make sure you have no future complications. What seems fine now might develop into something much worse.
Good luck to your sweeet kitty!
