Some cats just drool when they are relaxed. Paddy-Lim used to dribble when he was a kitten, but now he has stopped. If your boy is a kitten he may grow out of it.

Also, is he healthy generally? Sometimes drooling can be a sign of bad teeth.

Just look at it this way, the boy is so relaxed and trusting of you that the dribbles happen. I suppose the only thing you can do when visitors come and if it bothers you that much is to put him into a crate so that he can see everyone but not be left out. My own choice is that I explain to my guests that I have a dribbler and have a facewasher handy to mop up the dribbles.

My boy Raggie is the dribbler in my house - but only when he's being groomed or petted. He loves it so much that he just drools - nothing else wrong with him; he's more a lover than a fighter! I personally don't mind it when he dribbles as he's so very relaxed and happy - if he were to stop it, I'd be more inclined to be concerned!

My cat Baby does this every time she comes to curl up to me in bed... Not very nice sometimes! She only does it when she purrs. I guess she's just so happy she forgets to swallow laugh.gif

I have a 17 year old raggie cross that has dribbled since she was a kitten, mostly when happy which is just about all the time

I had a dribbler, when being patted, use to keep a cloth nappy handy and mop it up!

Mr Cat does that too, but only when he is really happy and purring, does not do it at any other times

White heart has the 7 stages of PURRR stage 7 is Upsidown purr with drool and kneading paws. She only does that when she is extatic.

Personally I would not be offended by a drooling cat, or embarrassed if one of my cats liked someone so much that they drooled on them. Over the years I have noted that when my cats did not like someone it was usually for a reason that I would eventually become aware of later. When my cats apurrovve of someone on the level of purr with drool, THAT friend is a keeper. My cats have never been wrong, MY record is a bit more dodgy
