Why does my kitten foam at the mouth while grooming? What's the cause?

Question

My neighbours 7 month old kitten foams at the mouth whilst grooming himself this has happened several times in the past week, what could be the cause?

Dr. Strydom, DVM · Accepted Answer

There may be something on his coat that he is ingesting. That is the most common reason for cats to foam at the mouth - they do that when they taste something unpleasant. I suggest bathing him with a mild soap to see if that helps. Hope this helps. Best wishes.
