Whenever I pet, cuddle, or play with my cat, Andria, she starts to drool. A lot. Like big heavy drops of saliva soaking through my clothes and the furniture. None of the other cats I've ever had have done this. She's maybe seven years old, is this normal/okay?

If your cat is not a drooler/kneader, then sudden drooling normally indicates a problem.
But some adult cats drool while they are being petted, massaged, or while they are nuzzling in clothes/fabric. This drooling is usually accompanied with the kneading of the cat’s paws. It is a respond to your petting. She might just be happy.
My cat Hiro used to do the same. But he stopped doing it after a while.

When I volunteered at the Humane Society, we had at least one drooly cat at any given time. If yours has always done it, its probably not a big deal. wink

hypersalivation in cats is usually a response to stress or excitement. If it churns up suddenly when they didn't use to I would get it checked out, if he's always done it, maybe just try to remember to bring it up next time you see your vet.
