My 9 year old has dribbled since we got him at 10 weeks. It mainly seems to be when he is happy, and the vet has no real answer. He is seriously lacking in teeth now, but that doesn't answer the issue. I'd say it isn't really a problem. Some cats dribble. If you are going to the vet sometime soon, ask, but unless you are really worried, I'd not make a special trip.

there's two types of dribble - there's the dribble that they get if they have gum or teeth problems in which case a vet can sort it out. Then there's the happy dribble! Ours dribble like a tap when they're being made a fuss of and especially when they're 'pummeling' at the same time, this treading is from their kitten days and the dribbling is probably in anticipation of the milk they got by this action. In anycase in adulthood that sort of dribble is when they're content and happy!

Many cats suffer from stomatitis which is an infection in the mouth, due to diets that in the wild that would naturally clean the cats teeth of tartar etc many domestic cats have problems with peridontal disease which dribbling is one of the main symptoms. Get the cat checked out by your vet he may wish to give you a course of antibiotics and carry out some dental work on the cat depending on the problem

No, that's nor normal. He could have a hairball in the back of his throat. Something isn't right. Take him to a vet. ***After re-reading your question, I'm not sure if the cat is dribbling from his mouth or if it's pee that's coming out. Either way, TAKE HIM TO A VET.

My old cat used to dribble as well, it was because he had quite a few teeth missing. Maybe this is why ur cat dribbles aswell.

If she hasn't been doing this since she was a kitten, I would suspect toothache or some kind of mouth sore. Have you looked into his mouth lately? Are the gums around the teeth red or swollen looking? Is there tartar build-up (in cats this appears in the back molars and side pre-molars as either yellow or cream-colored substance coating the teeth). If so, have your cat's teeth checked out by the vet.

My kitten is a very lively 7 month old. She is full of mischief. She is always dribbling and we can be soaked sometimes. She is eating very well (too well!!!) im getting concerned reading some things but am hoping it s just because she is insanely happy.
