Occasionally, as a kitten develops, the two sides of its face develop at different rates. This may result in what cat judges call a "crooked face". This article discusses this phenomenon using photos.

ABOUT THE IMAGE AT THE TOP OF THIS PAGE
The blue Exotic Shorthair kitten featured at the top of this page is a lovely example of its breed, except that its face is asymmetrical. Its nose is clearly crooked and off-center. Pictured in the photo at 6 weeks of age, this was a temporary asymmetry, probably due to the two sides of its jaw growing at slightly different rates. The kitten grew out of the problem and had a successful show career.
