Drooling cats

A rare event - all 3 of us napping on one chair.

Clockwise from bottom: Marquette, Tacumwah, Blogger.

Mommies went shopping again today. They bought two toilets, a sink, some ceramic tile and grout. It never stops. They weren't gone long, so at least we didn't have dinner at 7 p.m. today!

Marquette DROOLS! And it isn't just a little drool. It is like someone turned on a faucet in his mouth! He drools all over Mommy...and ONLY Mommy! Sometimes she wakes up in the night with drool running down her cheek and neck, her t-shirt soaked. Now Mommy knew why Marquette was drooling but she decided to look it up online anyway and here is how one vet put it:

Cat owners are surely familiar with the behavioral signs of kitty contentment. Happy cats will purr, knead their paws, and offer up a few head butts for good measure. Occasionally, cats really on cloud nine will drool on their owners. As the owner of such a cat, I interpret the flow of saliva as the utmost compliment.

Marquette will do anything to be Mommy's favorite! They have this special bond, as you know, and he seals it with a saliva bath on a daily basis. And Mommy doesn't seem to mind which I don't understand at all. Just like the vet in the paragraph above, she seems to think its special. Special! Good grief!

Mommy has never had a drooling cat before. How about my readers? Have you ever had a cat that drools that wasn't sick? Let us hear from you! And don't say Dogs Rule, Cats Drool. Cats both Rule AND Drool!
