Have you ever encountered cat drool?

So my darling cat seems to have started drooling. At first I wasn’t sure. Maybe she was drinking before she hopped in my lap.

She seems to only do it when she is really purring and melting. But she never used to do it before.

She is almost 5 yrs. Her left eye seems weepy on the left side which it is prone to do every now and again. She sometimes scratches her eyeball when she washes her face.

But it seems just a teeny bit more so. I was exposed to dog pink eye but I washed my hands well and I haven’t noticed any odd coloring in her eye boogers.

Also she started kneading her paws more when she is getting a rub down. She was more of instantaneous purrer and melter never been a big kneader.

Seems like a lot of changes to be happening all at once after 5 years. I was worried it could.
