Why is my cat suddenly calm, sleeping more, and drooling clear liquid?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | American Wirehair | Male | unneutered

Overnight my cat turned calm and sleeps way more than normal. I noticed there is a clear liquid forming around the mouth area of the cat. What's going on?

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Tobi. He will need to see a veterinarian this weekend if his symptoms persit or if he is experiencing any difficulty breathing. He could be drooling from nausea or be experiencing a respiratory tract infection. Did he eat anything that he shouldn't have or something bitter? That can cause drooling. Try to encourage him to eat and drink in the meantime. I hope this information helps!
