Friend has a 2 yr old female indoor cat which for some reason is drooling, have any ideas why?

Good for your friend! Drooling can be a sign of dental problems. The chewing raises a red flag for this. Have the vet put the cat under and check her teeth and while they're there clean them as well. I have to admit though that some cats simply drool. One of mine goes off into la la land when he gets his pettin's and just happily drools all over me. I apreciate the sentiment but yuck!

I took my cat to the vets this week to get him to check her throat out as she was coughing a lot and had also started drooling. It turned out that a blade of grass had become lodged in her throat and bent up behind her nasal cavity, so she couldn't shift it. It was removed quickly under anesthetic and now she's back to her normal happy self. I know you said there weren't any plants but if she likes chewing then this could be a possibility.

Having said that though, drooling can be a pleasure thing and could be completely normal for her....only you and your friend know what's normal really.

Worthwhile just checking it out if you're worried though. Good luck :)

Cats drooling is uaually quite a normal phenomenon... But it could be something dental, an absest, or infection that she's not showing you. This is what i see from the signes your telling me. Your doing the right thing by talking to a vet about it, a vet would be able to check her dentally. Hope all works out.

Hi there...when cats drool more than usual it could be indicative of a dental or gum disorders most commonly identified. Happy contented cats will drool, however it's not often. If your cat drools more often please consider ringing your vet to have your kitty evaluated. Oral ulcers can sometimes cause excessive salivation. Problems that lead to nausea, such as renal failure or gastrointestinal disease also cause excessive salivation. Some cats salivate excessively when they are nervous or stressed. This is a common reaction to oral medications and application of flea control products, too.

My cat does this a little when he's relaxed,my friends cat did it also,the chewing thing sounds something a little more serious best to go see a vet asap,to rule out any teeth problems.let us all know what happened

It's probably nothing to worry about. I've had several drooly cats, and it was just something they did... No major health problems in any of them!

the cat is in lust with you...hence the drooling
