A new obnoxious behavior emerges...
Willy has always been a drooler when he's purring and happy. Not excessively, but I've come to expect a few drips onto my clothing while petting him.
He is 10 years old, and never did this before in his life. But he recently discovered that he can shake his head to fling the drool away from his face. Of course, he does this right in my face while he's on my lap.
Now that I am familiar with cats, I know to expect that this behavior will never go away, and I am stuck with drool showers from now on. He's learned that it feels good to get rid of the drool, and he's going to do it forever.
Just after getting blasted in the face...
