My vet actually has said both times she has tried to examine him that she has had to struggle to listen to his heart because he simply will not stop purring while someone it holding him - he's like a motor boat!

Every time he purrs and jumps on our laps, he gets so happy that he just starts drooling, with this huge grin on his face, and squints his eyes shut all happy

I'm going to bring it up to our vet next time she sees him, just to make sure there isn't anything up with his mouth or anything, but I think he's totally fine, and just a "happy drooler"! I should mention that he was diagnosed with FIV after testing positive for it a couple of weeks ago - but we're hoping it's a false positive, and that he will test negative after he reaches 6 months of age.

I know FIV cats can have mouth/teeth problems, so I've been checking his mouth and teeth regularly, and they look fine, and he's been eating normally and chewing normally and stuff. He has a special place in his heart for wanting to chew on the vacuum power cord So, we've been carefully about unplugging everything that he can get to, and giving him appropriate stuff to chew! I feel like I'm dealing with a puppy all over again lol

He really does think he's one of the dogs. He gets mad when we let them out to play and don't let him out. He waits at the door for them to come back in so he can "play with them" some more, and while they are outside, he watches from the window and meows.

Today we bought him a harness and we're thinking about letting him outside with us on a leash in our yard while we hang out with the dogs out there. I think the harness is still a little too big though, and I don't want to chance him getting out of it, so we'll probably wait to do that until he's grown into it a bit, and it is snugger on him.
