Don't you think you answered your own question. When we pet her, she's very happy and that seems to cause the drooling. Just be happy that your cat is happy,.

It's an odd thing - we have four cats now (and have had very many others over the years that have sadly passed on) and some of them do, some of them don't.
As with yours, when it happens it is always a response to being happy because they are being petted. I don't personally find it gross at all, just really sweet and touching. Nothing that keeping a few tissues handy won't cure. (Now dog drool, that can be a bit gross - mainly because there is usually so much more of it than cat drool but also because it smells so - well, doggy!!)
A couple of our cats also sometimes sit with their tongues slightly protruding when they are relaxed - we keep trying to catch this on camera but they always seem to know they are about to be snapped and put their tongues back in!

Mostly when cats drool it's because they were taken away to soon from their mother. I have a cat that also drools and we found her a year ago abandoned in the forest. she was about 3 weeks old so we had to raise her and feed her and she drools when she is being cuddled and petted because she loves attention. Our other cats don't drool but they were with their mother the first 3 months of their lives. According to what our vet told us cats that drool have in most times been taken away to soon by their mother and when they feel happy and safe that longing for their mother comes back and they start to drool. When they are being nursed by the mother cat they also drool.

If I knew the breed this would be easier. But my guess is she has dental problems. Cats don't drool as a rule. Cats equate happiness with food and petting etc, but animals of all types hide their pain and discomfort if possible so as not to appear weaker to their pack mates. This has been proven by hidden camera monitoring of post op cats and dogs. Take fluffy to the vet for a dental checkup.

Cat drool is not gross compared to a dog's... it's a comfort response from when they were nursing

My cat drooled alot so I took him to the vet, and its a good thing I did because my cat had absested teeth and had to get them cleaned and 4 pulled out. So I would suggest you might want to do that.

They do this sometimes - I had one cat who did that. When she was young, she would make "Happy Biscuits" with all four feet and drool at the same time.
Just kinda made us go, Hmmm. At least *she's* happy!
