My cat drools after eating plants, but seems fine. Vet needed?

Question

I noticed my cat is drooling more than usual. No change in appetite or activity. Drinking peeling regular. No ordor in the mouth, no teeth issues (young kitty). Did recently buy some plants (tomato , sweet pea, basil, zucchini). He is an indoor cat but had a quick nibble on the plants before we moved it out of reach. Should I be concerned about the drooling and take him to the vet? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 9 months and 10 days old | 7 lbs

The drooling can be a sign of nausea in cats, but given that Rex hasn't had a change in activity, appetite, or anything else, I would keep an eye on him for now. It could be chewing on those plants has upset his stomach, and I would keep them out of reach. Try feeding him a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in his normal diet. If he's still drooling in another 24 hours after being on this diet or anything else changes from the normal, then I would have him seen by a vet.
