CAT Drooling cat

I’m concerned because my cat started drooling. he only did it for a small amount of time and it was while he was purring and being cuddle. Is this a happy response or should I be worried?

Some cats drool when happy. Could be normal. Keep an eye and ask your vet if you have any concerns. 

I won’t go into any of the negative as that is something only you can determine with the support of your vet.

my old cat used to do the same thing, vet said some just leak a little when they're really relaxed. if it only happens during cuddle time and he seems fine otherwise i wouldn't stress

Normal for lots of cats. One of my cats get a little drooler when she's getting loved on, a little moisture might rub off on your hand if she rubs her face against you. But my other cat drools profusely when she's getting lovings and will drip all over you.

I thought my cat was just happy drooling. Turned out she had dental disease and needs veterinary care. Please have him checked by a vet.
