There 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.

My kitten does this when she has a cold or upper respiratory infection. If it worsens, I would see a vet. I have had to get antibiotics before, which help tremendously.

Is it normal for cats to drool after children's Benadryl?

Before giving your cat any medication, please consult your vet first! Only your vet will be able to tell you the correct dosage for your cat. A cat drooling after giving Benadryl seems to be common. A cat will drool or foam at the mouth when eating something with an unpleasant taste, so it is likely that Benadryl does not taste pleasant to a cat. If you are at all worried, take your cat to the vet immediately. It is very easy to overdose a cat on human medication, and if this is the case the cat will need emergency treatment.


What causes drooling in cats?

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.
