for a friend: Drooling cat

Sounds like a toothache. What do you think the cat's supposed to do
about it...? Tell you?
My folks have a Persian that also drooled a lot. Turned out, one of
it's incisors was abscessed. Go to a vet. You probably haven't thought
one iota about your cat's oral hygiene anyway. Now's a good time to
start.

Ben, we play nice in here. If you need the FAQ for this group, go to
http://www.angelfire.com/mt/yowie/catfaq.htm for information on how we
work in RPCA. This is basically an anecdotes group. Any help we give
those who have medical problems is purely friendly and generally
consists of please take your cat to TED.

I see that you probably picked this message up from health and
behavior. Your treatment of the person may be perfectly normal in
there, but we tend to give the messenger the benefit of the doubt in
RPCA. The servant of the cat in question has already made a vet
appointment and doesn't need to be treated like a spoiled child without
the common sense to do what she can for the animal.
