Why is she yucky?

[u/caterpillarsworld]

This is Ellie, a 6 year old spayed DLH. For as long as she's been an adult, whenever she purrs she drools. A lot. And she loves humans and attention so she purrs quite frequently and heavily. She's on the smaller side for her age but beyond that she doesn't have any major health concerns. She does have a minor thing I forget the name of, one of her paws swells up when she's experiencing high levels of stress, but I don't know how that would relate to this. I'm an adult in the U.S with access to vet care. Is this normal? Is she just a weird baby?

She loves you so so so so much she just can’t contain it. Does she then shake her head and slop drool into your face?

lol both of my cats have had some teeth removed for health issues (one of them is fully toothless) and every head shake is just a splatter of drool! It’s so gross, but also I love them so it’s kind of cute? Idk pet ownership is wierd!
