Nipsy is drooling. I looked where he was lying on the bed and it was
very wet. Really a puddle. At first I thought maybe he peed there but
that wasn't the case. His mouth was wet and he was still drooling a
bit. I checked his mouth but nothing obvious is wrong. So I went to
review old messages here and check what is said about drooling.

And what do I find? A message from me on 9/9/2003 about how my cat
Nipsy was drooling! I forgot all about that. Well, I did live through
the 1960s. A very similar occurance. Sudden rush of drooling. I took
him to the vet and had a very healthy cat. The only difference was
that he had been outside in the backyard and we speculated that he ate
something or got stung. This time he might have eaten something inside
but unlikely he got stung!

He's behaving fine; no sign of anything out of the ordinary but he did
just take a big drink at the Petmate fountain. That is not very usual
for him but I can certainly understand it. I have to mop the bed. Cold
wet nose (very wet), warm ears, again that is normal for him.

So, I'll watch him closely tonight and in the morning. Anything odd
and I take him to the vet. If he seems normal I'll just give them a
call to get their opinion. The last time I called the emergency vet
and they told me to wait until morning and see how he was. Seems like
good advice. Let's see what the morning brings us.
