Answer 1

Hi Lauren...some cats drool when they are very content and it's quite normal. However, there are some instances where the drooling could be more indicative of gum or tooth disorders.

I've copied an article from ivillage.com about drooling and hope you will find it of interest:

...if your pet is normally dry, yet suddenly starts flowing like a faucet, you can bet there is something wrong. This is especially true for cats, who generally drool less than dogs.

"As soon as I see a drooling cat, I'm thinking ulcers in the mouth or immune system disease," says Mark Riehl, D.V.M., a veterinarian in private practice in Bristol, Tennessee. Cats with feline AIDS, leukemia, or even the flu will sometimes get mouth sores that cause them to drool, he says. Kidney problems can also cause sores and drooling in cats as well as dogs.

While dogs often drool because of mealtime anticipation, cats may salivate for sheer pleasure, which is why you may feel a few drips when your friendly feline starts nuzzling your neck. Conversely, cats will also drool when they are afraid, like when it is time for a bath.

Some pets will drool after eating instead of before. In medium- and large-breed dogs, this is sometimes caused by a condition called bloat, in which the stomach twists and then expands, says Jim Hendrickson, V.M.D., a veterinarian in emergency private practice in Rockville, Maryland. Dogs with this condition usually appear restless and will try unsuccessfully to vomit. Bloat is an emergency that may require surgery, so you will need to see your vet right away.

Dogs and cats with epilepsy may drool before a seizure. And many pets will drool when they have digestive problems or even car sickness.

It is very common for pets to drool copiously when they have eaten something bitter, anything from a lemon wedge to drain cleaner. They will also drool when they have mouth pain due to dental problems, for example, or a splinter stuck in the gum.
See Your Vet If...

Your cat may have a tooth or gum infection,

which would cause those symptoms .

Or it may have worms

or even fur balls

the vet should be able to tell you and make your cat better

either way, it is not normal for a cat to slobber .

Answer 3

If your cat has very bad breath (smells like rotting flesh) then it's gum disease or bad teeth.

Otherwise kittens that were weened too early will often suckle on fabrics and slobber profusely when content and purring.

HTH

Bad teeth. He needs to see the vet for a dental job and then it's your daily job to brush your cat's teeth.
