HELP! My cat Abbott is a problem drooler when he purrs

[LynneSin]

Seriously!

He just jumped on my lap and started to purr. As soon as the purring starts the drool just comes running out like a bad leaky faucet. I'm now covered in Cat drool.

Is this normal?

2. He can keep his damn cat juice

3. Mine does that when he's really, REALLY calm and happy, so maybe

you just have a mellow happy kitty? :shrug:

7. My elderly rescued cat does that too

the vet says its because of gum disease. I just know it stinks.

6. My cat does it ONLY...

when she's doing her special paw rubbing/massage routine. Then she drools all over my shirt and I have a damn cat drool wet spot. The only good thing about her doing her little paw routine is that she's putty in my hands, I can do whatever I want to her and she doesn't resist. :D

10. My hair often smells of cat spit.

Ours is a frustrated hair stylist, and sometimes spends as much as an hour on the back of the chair arranging my hair 'just so'.

11. not really

have his teeth checked

my cat did the same thing and he had really bad plaque build up on his teeth

12. Poke him with a needle. He'll stop purring and drooling. KIDDING

Mine does that too and I don't really even mind. I think it's cute!

13. mine drools somewhat when she is being pet really well

I asked the vet about it a few years ago, and she said it was normal happy cat behaviour

14. This is bizzarre......

I was out of town over Christmas and boarded my cat, Sheba at the vets. When I checked on her, they commented on what a drooler she was. They said it's because she's happy!!!!!!!!
I always thought it was because she'd had too much to drink :shrug:
