Help me stop the drip! QueenSaiyan
I have a pressing question to ask!

HOW DO I STOP THIS BEAUTIFUL LITTLE MONSTER FROM DROOLING ON ME??

When he was a kitten he'd nuzzle into me and suck on my shirt/whatever was available, but now that he's more grown up he's started drooling profusely whenever I give him cuddles ;-; It's revolting. You cuddle him for a while and then you stand up with a massive wet patch of cat spit. Or if you give him nice back rubs, a big drop of drool starts sliding down his chin. He's doing it right now, in fact.

Other peoples' cats have drooled on me, but I never thought I'd have one that did it. Is there anything anybody else has heard of on this? Can I get him to stop it, or am I fated to be slobbered on?!

I'm fairly sure if you cook and eat him he will stop drooling on you.

I think I remember someone saying that when a cat drools a lot it's a sign of bad teeth.

Maybe his cat's just retarded.

When the mommy cat cleans its kittens, the kittens drool to supply some moisture to aid the mother in cleaning. its natural.

Oh, really? I never heard of that, I just thought he was drooling because he was thinking about suckling or something along those lines... Hehe, the idea of him drooling because he thinks I'm his mom cleaning him is cute.

I think he's too young to have any kind of teeth problem yet. He's only about 5 months old :) And his breath is tolerable. My other cat has awful teeth because she's retarded and doesn't know how to chew!

Well yah, it CAN be bad teeth but that's not typical in kittens. One cat (now dead) did that when she was very old 'cause all her teeth fell out true but...

Right now I have two cats who do this. One is about 6 years old and has a severe overbite, hence his problem.
I'm not sure what my kitten's problem is. She drools a lot too but I don't see any tooth problems...
although..
you know, her teeth are falling out (milk->normal teeth)...perhaps that's the same as yours and perhaps that'd be enough?

Cute little monster btw

had a cat once, who drooled, but only when you pet him.

IT was a subconcious reflext, most cats will drool when, petted, or when they're kneading something, or when suckling, all because it IS a nursing reflex they've not overcome.

MY male cat whom I got when he was VERY young, has an obsessive kneading complex, which is a nursing trait, they'd knead their mother's stomach when suckling to get more milk.

It falls in line with the drooling, when my old cat would drool while being petted, he'd also kneading my leg, as if he was still suckling his mother.

Most you can do, is ignore it.

I'm sorry to say it, but your cat is just a drooler. Mine is too, whenever he gets into a cuddle session he gets all drippy. I love him for it, though. I dont mind that much, try not to let it bother you that much!
The sucking when he was young is something kittens do when they are having trouble getting over leaving thier mother. Its called pika. He seems to have outgrown that tendancy but I'm pretty sure you'll always be stuck with the slobbering.

I love the kneading paws thing, but dribbling, nooo! XD I'll just have to carry around a bib for him. Thanks, /an/!
