Accessory for drooling cat

Post by Spixe »

My cat had/has Feline Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma and had to get his entire tongue removed (it had turned into a tumor). Without a tongue, he is unable to control or swallow his saliva, so it just constantly drips out (or hangs with mucus). There is no procedure or medicine that can fix this - it'll be a fact of life.

Does anyone know of some kind of device that he can wear that will... i don't know, catch it, or like a bib, soak it up so it doesn't hang down and drool? Obviously regular food bibs for babies isn't an option, so I'm hoping a pet company may have already developed something for constantly drooling animals? I would very much appreciate some help. I love my kitty and will accept and clean up his excessive drooling, but sometimes when he lies down, he'll just eventually soak his chin and neck in his own drool. Must be so uncomfortable...

Thanks for any advice!
