Does Anyone Else's Cat Do This?

[Jem]

Hi everyone!
Chewie, my 18 year old tabby, has a very wet/gurgle sounding purr. And when he's really "into it" he drools a lot. He's under a vet's care, as all my cats are, and is, in my vet's opinion a very young 18 year old and healthy. I know he has no breathing issues, and he only has the wet sound when he purrs, never when he's breathing. Just wanted to know if anyone else has a wet sounding purring cat? I wonder if the wet gurgle sound is just because he does not swallow when he's purring, like it either comes out as drool, or stays in there and "bubbles".

Hi!
Yes my Big Guy drools, and he sometimes has a wet-ish sounding purr I don't know why, though...

Yes, my oldest kitty does this. She's 13.

All three of mine drool when they’re blissed out and purring. Lily could win a drooling contest. As a special bonus, her nose runs when she really gets going. She does often sound “gurgly” with all of that drool flowing.

Tobermory - She is beautiful! (even with the drool and snot.)
Thanks for the giggle this morning, I needed it!

Lily thanks you and says she’s glad she could help. She sends you a gurgling purr, a drop of drool, and a head butt.
