Dribbly cat!

[MarjorieChardem]

My cat has an unfortunate habit of dribbling everywhere whenever he gets stroked. It's horrible and it's putting me off fussing him. His teeth seem fine and he eats biscuits without a problem and this is the only time he does it. Can I do anything to stop it?

I cat dribbles when she's happy.

I don't think there is anything you can do to stop it. It is just some cats' reaction to being stroked. I've a feeling I read somewhere that they feel as though they are kittens again being petted by their mum and they are salivating as they are subconsciously expecting mum's milk - or something like that. Or I might have dreamt that explanation:)

You could put an old towel on your knee if that's where you stroke him. Or just keep tissues to hand.

Thanks for advice, I now have a dribble tissue handy when we have fusses!
