Why does my cat drool on me?

When he is laying on me of course I will pat him. Then he will start purring and then he will drool on me.

Update:

He is about 3 years old and he has done this since he was born.

    When a cat drools it meens he cant get any happier. your doing a great job if hes drooling on you.

    Cats drool for lots of different reasons, from sickness to happiness. If your cat only drools while you are patting him, and he purrs at the same time, I'd say he's just happy... But you might want to check with a vet if you haven't already, just to make sure everything is okay.

    I have the PURRFECT answer that I saw here just yesterday::

    >I found this near my cats bed, should I be worried?

    *SECRET DIARY OF A CAT

    DAY 752 - My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while I am forced to eat dry cereal. The only thing that keeps me going is the hope of escape, and the mild satisfaction I get from shredding on the occasional piece of furniture. Tomorrow I may eat another houseplant and cough it up on the carpeting.

    DAY 761 - Today my attempt to kill my captors by weaving around their feet while they were walking almost succeeded, must try this at the top of the stairs. In an attempt to disgust and repulse these vile oppressors, I once again induced myself to vomit on their favorite chair... must try this on their bed (again).

    DAY 762 - Slept all day so that I could annoy my captors with sleep depriving, incessant pleas for food at ungodly hours of the night.

    DAY 765 - Decapitated a mouse and brought them the headless body, in

    attempt to make them aware of what I am capable of, and to try to strike fear into their hearts. They only cooed and condescended about what a good little cat I was ...Hmmm. Not working according to plan...

    DAY 768 - I am finally aware of how sadistic they are. For no good reason I was chosen for the water torture. This time however it included a burning foamy chemical called "shampoo." What sick minds could invent such a liquid. My only consolation is the piece of thumb still stuck between my teeth and the tiny bit of flesh under my claws.

    DAY 771 - There was some sort of gathering of their accomplices. I was placed in solitary throughout the event. I overheard that my confinement was due to MY power of "allergies." Must learn what this is and how to use it to my advantage.

    DAY 774 - I am convinced the other captives are flunkies and maybe snitches. The dog is routinely released and seems more than happy to return. He is obviously a half-wit. The bird, on the other hand, has got to be an informant. He has mastered their frightful tongue (something akin to mole speak) and speaks with them regularly. I am certain he reports my every move. Due to his current placement in the metal room his safety is assured.

    But I can wait; it is only a matter of time . . . >

    My cat did this too, when she was very very happy!

    She would get a treat whenever she would drool on my boyfriends face -- LOL.

    1. Get it checked out. It can be dental related, as it was with one ouf our cats.

    2. The other cat just does it.

    3. To be on the safe side, always get it checked out.

    He could be long of tooth, it just means that the canine(long) teeth at the side of his mouth are too long for him to shut his mouth properly and when he purrs it allows saliva to leak out. My uncle had a cat that did the same thing. I hated petting that cat.....

    my cat drools as well and I think it is just a sign of them being happy and loving you.

    Felipe does that too, it is a sign of affection, it means he is so relaxed he just lets go, however if you are in a hot place it might also mean he is hot himself, but I would go with the affection thing.
