Mouth twitching and drooling in a cat may come from eating irritating substances such as very spicy food, causing oral irritation and heavy salivation, which can be relieved by rinsing the cat’s mouth with clean water.
Second, if the cat has stomatitis, similar symptoms appear when pain is severe; if the owner finds mouth ulcers or swollen gums, take it to a vet promptly.
Finally, poisoning or viral disease may cause neurological problems; if the cat recently ate something toxic or shows other infection signs, seek veterinary care.
