Usually when a cat spits, there is a high possibility that there is foreign matter in the mouth, or there is a gastrointestinal problem, which will cause the cat to spit. It is recommended to take the cat for a physical examination.
Why do orange cats spit?
Saliva, medically known as saliva, is the liquid secreted by the major salivary glands (parotid gland, submandibular gland, sublingual gland) and minor salivary glands in the mouth.
Anything unpalatable—medicines, certain foods, or household items—can trigger a flood of saliva. Mouth diseases, gastrointestinal disorders, and metabolic disorders such as kidney failure can also cause excessive drooling. Cats sometimes drool if foreign objects get stuck in their throats.
Saliva has the functions of moistening the oral mucosa, sterilizing, blending food, and preliminary digestion of starchy food. Excessive salivation during the day is related to stomach problems, spleen, and kidneys. It is mainly the temptation of food that causes salivary secretion disorders. It is recommended that you pay attention to your cat’s stomach problems and take it to a veterinarian for examination.
If the cat’s physical condition is not serious, generally there is no need to worry too much, it will get better after a while.
