- Some cats love their owners and it is a sign of affection if they rub and some cats may drool which is not a sign of anything being wrong with them, but just their particular personality. It's a form of affection. Like humans, cats can have more saliva than others.
- I also have a cat who I have had since he was a kitten and he is now 13 years old. He drools a lot when he purrs as he gives affection. It is hilarious, sweet and sometimes a little disgusting but we love him, drool and all. I notice that when he purrs he keeps his mouth open slightly and doesn't seem to swallow the saliva. I believe that is why he is "sharing" with the rest of us.
- We also have a cat that drools when cuddling, but if your cat does not normally drool under these circumstances and is drooling at other times there are several causes. Some are minor but others are not. See what your cat has been eating - ours occasionally chomp a slug, which is relatively harmless, but a huge drool producer. Other items are not so harmless. Check with your vet if the drooling lasts more than a day.

∙ 12y agoThere are several reasons why cats drool:
Some cats drool when they are really happy, relaxed, or even when they sleep; just like some people do.
Alternatively, a cat that is drooling excessively could either have been poisoned, or there is something wrong with its mouth (gum disease or a broken tooth can cause extreme pain to a cat). It is highly recommended to take the cat to the vet immediately, especially if the cat has lost its appetite and drooling for no obvious reason.

∙ 12y agoCats usually drool when they are excited, happy or content - usually when they purr. However, excessive drooling could also mean the cat has a dental problem, or the cat has ingested something harmful.

∙ 12y agoSome cats drool naturally but others may have done something to start drooling for example they may get something stuck in their mouth or throat. The most common causes are if your cat licks frogs/toads or if it gets stung in the mouth by a wasp/bee. if your has never drooled before and does it for more than a few hours you should take it to the vet in case there is something stuck in its mouth.

∙ 11y agoBecause they're so relaxed and loving it, they get too carried away and they can't help but open their mouth a little, and drool. A bit like older cats when sleeping, they can't help when saliva builds up in their mouth.

Do worms in cats cause drooling?
No, drooling is not a sign of your cat having worms, but weight loss; lack of appetite and the fur on the cat appearing dry and not shiny. However, some medications for cats with worms can cause drooling. If you have not seen your vet please do so immediately as worms in cats can be transferred to children and adults. Worms are often normal in kittens or sometimes adult cats so please see your vet and express your concern about too strong a dosage of worm medications that could make your cat drool. Some cats will drool when they are content or want to be stroked, but it is wise to get the vet to give your cat a good going over physically.

An animal might drool within a few hours after surgery from the effects of the anesthesia. Sometimes the anesthesia causes nausea and vomiting. The nausea can cause drooling. Also, sometimes an animal can be slow to recover from the anesthesia, being dizzy, clumsey, and disoriented, which can also result in drooling.
