Maybe I'm just overly concerned, but I just want to be sure.
My cat, who was sleeping on the bottom of my bed, sat on my stomach as soon as he realised I was awake. He's around 8 years old, male, neutered, and an indoor cat. I began petting him, and he began purring as usual. I was petting him on his nose, close to where is whiskers come out of, and I saw a drop of saliva falling from the center of his mouth. Like, a minute after that, another drop fell. I continued petting him, but it stopped. I looked on the spot where he had been sleeping for the last hours and it was dry. I watched him eat (Hill's prescription diet c/d -- 5 and a half years ago, he had struvite crystals blocking his urethra, he had surgery to remove the penis and never had problems again since) and he was eating without problems. I tried opening his mouth to check for any sores or injuries, but I couldn't keep his mouth open long enough to see if everything is allright.
I've read here about cats that drool when they're happy, but what worries me is that he *never* drolled before. Other than that, he seems to be normal - "talking" to me, eating, purring, wanting to play, but I am still worried. Should I take him to the vet just in case, or only go if he continues drooling or if his behaviour changes?
