She's eating and drinking fine, and is using her tray ok too.

Sorry, I mean't she's using one of those buster collar things that stop her licking her stitches. She's only really drooling if I'm rubbing her ears, but this has only just started. I have an older cat who started with this and the vet said it was his teeth as he was over 10 years old. She's only 7 months!

several of my cats drool when I stoke them. It's normal. I hate those buster collar things that vets have started selling people and telling everyone that they are vital. In 30 years of keeping cats and having the neutered, I have never put one of these things on a cat and not one has ever bitten the stitches. They aren't stupid. They lick the wound, it hurts, they leave it alone. Simple. I have always kept large numbers of cats too so have seen a lot of neuters.

ON the outside worst, she could be having a seizure. On the normal side - she may be biting a plant that you don't know about or perhaps she's wearing a flea collar and biting that and foaming from it.
I've never had a perfectly healthy cat just sit and drool. Sometimes elderly cats drool, and at other times sick and congested cats drool. Since you had her spayed last week, call the vets office and ask them what they think. Good luck!!

Is she drooling constantly or just after eating and drinking. I have a cat who's eyes tear up when she eats and the vet said that was weird but normal. Could it be that the collar is in some way emitting pressure that is causing her to not be able to close her mouth completely? That would definitely cause drooling.

Is this an e-collar to prevent her from getting at her incision? There would be no reason for it to be on that long. Call the vet, I am sure you can take it off now.
Are you talking about flea spraying? Don't ever spray a cat with anything other than water maybe to deter some behaviors. Any toxic chemicals you spray around can get into your lungs and the cat's. Very dangerous.

Sounds like she is licking the collar. It's not drool, the poison on the collar is making her mouth foam. Take it off and use another option for flea control.

This drooling sounds like it's because you are rubbing her ears and she's liking it, probably purring a lot and not swallowing, therefore, drooling!
Mine does that all the time. She just purrs and purrs and drools and drools, it's a sign of contentment.

My cat used to drool when I'd scratch him as well. But, you might want to call the vet to make sure it's not something else going on. : )

Many cats drool when they are given a lot of attention.
