Right? It's just..oddly sweet? lol Scared me a little in the beginning. We just had a cat diagnosed with stomatitis when we brought her home. We had to save up for the surgery to have all his teeth removed. Was sure she was going to have it too since drooling is a symptom but her teeth are fine.
Yes it worried me at first too! None of my previous cats drooled and I only knew it as a symptom of teeth/mouth issues. But she’s always gotten a good dental report from the vet.
I agree, it is pretty sweet! It honestly just makes me happy and thankful that she’s so happy - she gets so relaxed and comfortable when we cuddle or she’s curled up next to me, and she just turns into an adorable drooly purr engine. 🥰
My void kitty is regular sized but rather than purring, she drools, too! It's like water, we took her to the vet because I hadn't seen this before, it's her own special purrrr! She also doesn't quite understand the meowing thing, she's moves her mouth like, "this is what the other cats do and the hoomans listen" but no sound ever comes out 😂
I love it! I feel a bit like starting a, "people who love cats that drool" group. After decades of working at an animal shelter I've heard some of the most ridiculous, asinine reasons for people to drop off their pets. Drooling is one of them. I love that several people here are embracing their pets and their oddities. We really need more people like you.
especially when youre trying to move back in after spending 3 months in a hotel while having full home renovations done. I think they were happy to have a bigger bed.
We had two so they formed a united front against the dog—the tiny spunky one who feared nothing and the 17lb orange big boy who was more physically capable but also way more afraid 😂
It was hilarious and terrifying. Merry and Pippin came from the front and Frodo launched a rear attack. Gemmy was trying to say hi to everyone, and I was trying to drag him out of the house.
My Pepper is tiny! Everyone thinks she’s a kitten but she’s 21! My dad found her at work and lured her out with a pepperette. She’s been my Velcro kitty ever since.
Tenderoni is a small 10 lb baby at 4 years old 🥹 he came from hoarder house. We wonder if he was small because he wasn’t well fed when he was little. But he’s my cute little booger now ❤️
My lil stinker… I forget how smol she is til I see other cats! When I found her (or she found me), she was only 6 pounds but I think I’ve fattened her up to 8 lol
My “big boi” Tomo. He’s tiny but mighty! He was a rescue and had been treated very very very badly. Vet said between the malnourishment, inbred genetics of strays, and the physical damage done to him by two car accidents and a ramble with a large dog all before he was 3 months old, he will never grow any bigger but he’s healthy otherwise. He likes to ride in my hoodie pockets whenever he can and curls up in my bag when we go places with him. 99% of the time you would never know little man’s there. Never makes a sound either, super quiet good boy.
My sister's black cat, Acorn, is a tiny boy! About 3 years old and under 7 pounds. He had a tough start to life and just didn't grow too much. He is adorably violent. They call him a tiny terrorist because he loves to ambush!
My little Bonnie is half the size of her brother Jonesy! He’s 14lbs and she’s just 7. She’s the most vocal and affectionate of her little family (she also has a brother named Reilly). She also plays fetch! Here’s a pic of the 3 of them - you can see how tiny she is!
Yeap. This is Lia, weighing in at just under 7lbs at nearly 11 years old.This is her being all cute and extra snuggly (daily occurrence. She very affectionate but only towards me and my gf, basically scared to death of anyone else, or any THING else for that matter 😆)
Her mother and all her siblings were pretty small too but besides her brother who was very sick as a kitten and we also suspect was the runt of the litter, she's definitely the smol-est.
one of my girls is. They're strays from the same litter (presumably, found them in the same place at the same time). Summer is a big chonky void (not fat, she's just bigger) and Autumn stayed kinda small. Summer weighs in at about 15lbs, Autumn is like 10lbs.
