Cat Forum / General Topics / June 2004Cat nuzzling resulting in drool?
My oldest (not that old she's 5 young compared to some of the ages I've seen posted around the boards) likes to nuzzle her nose into our necks. We don't mind it but somehow we end up with some weird slobber when she leaves. Her tongue doesn't lick us, she just breathes. She never uses her tongue to wet her nose either. What is this slobber from? We're most puzzled, but then again kinda afraid to find out at the same time - could be condensation, could be snot. ;). Anyways thought I would ask :) [posted and mailed] > My oldest (not that old she's 5 young compared to some of the ages I've > seen posted around the boards) likes to nuzzle her nose into our necks.

Anyways thought I would ask :) Do you really want to know? One of our cats does this and all I know for sure is that it's from their nose. I suspect it's the cat equivalent of drooling. > My oldest (not that old she's 5 young compared to some of the ages I've seen > posted around the boards) likes to nuzzle her nose into our necks.

One of my cats starts salivating and drooling almost as soon as I pick him up and cuddle him. It can be a bit of a nuisance, but after a while you start to find it endearing! >>My oldest (not that old she's 5 young compared to some of the ages I've > [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > drooling almost as soon as I pick him up and cuddle him. It can be a bit of > a nuisance, but after a while you start to find it endearing! I have one of those drooly ones, too... It's just one of those residual leftovers from Kittenhood. The vet explained it as a part of the suckling techniques of nursing. When the kitten nurses they salvate, making it less painful on Momma. My cat does it to my hair! He's a big baby. It does mean the cat is comfortable with you and views you as "Mom". Hope that helped.. Mommacat A lot of cats drool if they are really purring.

Anyways thought I would ask :) This is a highly dangerous exercise! Cat saliva contains parasites and micro-organizms which can be fatal to humans. Especially if rubbed into the neck area around the human jugular vein.
