Cat drooling excessively
I adopted a male Maine Coon cat about 2 or 3 years old. The cat has a problem with excessive drooling. I checked his problem on the internet and the reason given was either a mouth or respiratory condition. I called the adoption shelter and explained my concern. I was told the cat had been adopted and returned because he was TOO AFFECTIONATE. They asked me to bring him in to be checked by their doctor which I did immediately. The doctor said he was healthy and could not find any problems.
The drooling is so bad that we cannot hold or love him the way he should be loved.
I am afraid that if he is returned again he will be adopted again and returned again and that would be very traumatic for the cat. Please give me your honest opinion as what to do.
Thank you.

Cat with fleas and scabs around ears
My cat (2.5yo male Domestic Short Hair, neutered) is an indoor/outdoor cat. A few months ago my cat started getting fleas so I began treating him with generic flea medicine but last month decided to switch to Frontline plus topical medicine because everyone I know swears by it. It seems to have helped but fleas still exist. When he started getting fleas I notices that some bumps were forming behind his ears, which turned out to be what I believe are scabs, probably from itching. Those bumps/scabs have spread to parts of the back of his head, under his chin, and random places on his back and underside. Do you believe they are most likely just cuts/scabs from itching? If so, is there anything I can do/purchase to heal them. I thought that they would just heal over time but they seem to have just gotten worse. I brush him nearly everyday with a flea comb and it takes fleas and i am guessing scabs off. I tried not combing him for a few days to not disturb the scabs but that didn’t seem to do anything. Anything you can tell me would be benefical. I can email you a picture I took of one of the areas but it is not the best quality. I look forward to your response.
