One of my cats drools when he gets petted.

I think another of my cats does this too, but unlike Grendel, her nose drips when she's super happy at being petted.

Grendel on the hand, drips like a leaky faucet out the corner of his mouth when petted.


It's pretty funny. I think it is endearing.

1. Abbott is a massive drooler

it's cute for about 2 seconds until I realize I'm covered in cat drool.

6. I have one that does that too.

He is a baby, a 5 year old baby. I have had cats that groom me when I pet them but never one that drooled like this. When I got him from the rescue he was probably about 2 or 3 months old. He sucked on my bathrobe when I was wearing it like he was nursing. He is just a little sweetie.

The feral that has, after about 3 years of feeding and kindness, decided he is my kitty and I am his human does not seem to drool but when he shakes his head when I am petting him he sprays slobber all over the place. Hopefully we will be at the point I can get him vetted, neutered and checked really soon and we will see if it is just drooling like my other one or if there is a problem.

It is endearing. Your kitty loves you!

7. Yeah I used to have a major kneader/drooler.

He'd climb on me and knead away at my chest and drool. Come to think of it I have an ex husband who used to do that too.

Ba-dump-ching!

9. One of our cats also does that; when he is lying on your chest, he will soak your shirtfront

10. So do I.

11. I have one that drools when he is hungry in the early morning

He stands right over my face and stares at me, somehow thinking that he can telepathically wake me up or psych me out into getting up...then I get drooled on...not as cute at 5:00 a.m....he drools when I pet him too, he is a sweetheart

12. My cat Basket leaks like a firehose when you pet her.

The other three do not.

Freaks the misses out a little, Im ok with it.

13. We had a cat like that. She would start drooling and then shake her head.

There would be a drool storm when that happened!!

14. It is a little known fact that cat droolis ten times wetter than water.

15. two of mine are droolers, both male and brothers...

...so I assume there is a genetic component, although that's just a guess. And my oldest female siamese kitty is named Grendel, too!
