Face twitching in cats
Hi everyone - Hoping someone might have some advice.
It's a few weeks that we've noticed Yoda's face twitching. It's a twitch on one side only. he doesn't do it all the time - but it's concerning. As for background - Yoda is about 3 years old - male neutered Sphynx. Here's a shot of him in mid-twitch. Any thoughts? thx!

Is it more of a quick grimace or does he hold the expression for a bit? Could it be a sore tooth or maybe an ear infection? JD is just getting over an ear infection and he was making faces like that when it was bothering him--not a quick twitch, but making a face and holding the expression for a few seconds....

Thx Hrp - But, actually it looks like a repetitive nervous twitch.
As though he keeps trying to smell something involuntarily on one side of his face only. It looks like a face spasm. But it only happens occasionally  thx for any additional insight!

Are you able to get a video of it for the vet?

Be interesting to see what the vet says, I've not seen a facial twitch before, Lilly has hyperesthesia which results in twitching along her back.
