My male cat Jasper has always dribbled when he's been purring, but recently
he's been dribbling a lot more. He has also been rubbing his face against
any surface he can find and quite often has the fur on his cheeks soaked. He
seems perfectly bright in himself which is why I haven't taken him to the
vet - I'm now thinking that maybe I should if it doesn't get any better. Has
anyone else experienced this?

I don't know if this is connected but I have two cats, Jasper and the
female, Willow, both from the same litter. They have been really close since
they first came home with us and they spend all of their time together,
playing and snuggling up asleep. However, in the past couple of days they
seem to have taken a strong dislike to each other - more on the side of the
female than of the male. I have no idea why but Willow hisses really
viciously whenever Jasper approaches her and if he gets too close it ends in
physical fighting.

I don't know what the connection could be, or what it could have been that
would have upset them. Any ideas?

Thanks!

He may be "ill" in the sense of a tooth problem or something stuck in
between his teeth.  That would cause excessive drooling.  If it's infected,
the female may be shunning him as he has the scent of "ill" on him (a lot of
animals will shun an injured or sick animal)

Please take Jasper to the vet to see what may (or may not) be causing this.

Yeah, it really only got worse tonight - I will be taking him to the vet as
soon as possible! Thanks for your reply.

BTW: If it does turn out to be a bad tooth or two...
your cat will be healthier after the extraction...
and don't worry...cats  have plenty of teeth and if a few have to come
out...
they will have no trouble eating
