My geriatric cat is drooling?

Posted by: Alan in cat arthritis treatment, tags: drooling, geriatric

So when my mom brought my cat down stairs this morning he was drooling a little bit but now he still is drooling! Its been about 3 hours since my mother woke up and brought him down with her. He is 19 and has arthritis. Is it a health Problem or just because hes old? also about 2 weeks ago we got a new cat. But she stays away from him and hes not to happy about her. Please help!

I have a cat that is 17 and drools. My guess is that it’s just a sign of getting old, but your best bet is to ask a vet if you think it could be a health concern.

as all mammels get older its harder for them not to druel.

I am sure she is not happy about the newcomer. However, drooling is often a sign of nausea in a cat. Hopefully, everything is fine in the litter box with her. If not, a vet visit would be advised.

One of my cats was drooling up a storm. Lots of drool. It started and stopped, but by the time I got her to the vet, nothing wrong, and she didn’t do it again.

The outdoor cat drools when he’s really happy, but when any of the indoor cats drool excessively, it’s because they have a tooth that is giving them a lot of pain. We get them in to have their mouth looked at by the vet.
