First I'd like to say hi to everyone
... my name is Heather and this is my first post here. I'm a Penn State student, happily sharing an apartment with my 3.5 year old orange tabby, Oliver (who, by the way is an FIV kitty and doin just fine
), a tank of fish and a tank of hermit crabs.... yes, I live in a zoo and all animals are spoiled.
Now to my question... recently I've noticed Oliver will start drooling when I'm scratching him near the ears and face. I'm assuming this is simply a relaxation reaction from the pleasure of the scratching, but he's never done it before just a few days ago. As I said, he's 3 and a half, but I've been his owner for only a year, come October. I'm not all that worried about this because it's not a profuse and/or constant drooling, but would like to hear what y'all think.
Thanks so much! I'm sure I'll be posting again!
