Hi, Its ok panic over my little Ole has stopped dribbling.He's a bit of a food monster, He has a habit of picking things up of the floor so I think maybe he had a taste of something bitter and that set him of dribbling. The next day he was fine. Thanks for all your replies.

Better still get insurance before any vets visit!

Matt's Mum's cat had this dribbling problem, her chin fur was constantly wet: It turned out to be as simple as big lump of tartar on the very back teeth to one side, it was solved in one day with dental surgery (it was just over a year ago and cost about £200). Book yourself a dental check up at the vet (lots of vets offer free dental checks with their practise nurse) to put your mind at rest ;)

I would take him to the vets asap. One of mine has Stomititus and its turned out really bad, near death for the cat and this started off just with a little drooling and gingivitis  :shy:

Hi,
  There dosen't seem to be a patten to the dribbling.I tried to look in his mouth but he wasn't happy. If it carries on tomorrow we will take him to the vets. Hopefully it will be nothing to worry about.
Thanks

It isnt just when being petted is it? because some cats do this like some do the kneading.

Dribbling is usually associated with mouth problems. Either a bad tooth or something stuck in the teeth. Dribbling is natures way of irrigating to shift bacteria or a foreign object.  ;)

 :( Hi,
    We have a 12month old cat.Today he started dribbling, he's full of energy as always and doesn't seem in any pain. Any ideas as to what could suddenly be causing this.
