Ball pythons can dislocate and relocate their own jaws to swallow prey.
If the jaw is broken-depending upon the level of damage there is a potential it may heal on its own. I have one with a re-healed jaw (she broke it striking the side of her cage). It took months to heal, looks a bit ugly, but, works perfectly well.
The problem is that cats can inflict a large bacterial load via their teeth and claws: watch for signs of infection and if you see anything unusual: See a Vet.
