That drooling you describe sounds like "affectionate" drool. It comes from the instinct to salivate while nursing. The cat is content in someone's lap and remembers kittenhood and warm milk from mama and bingo - drool!

Cats can also drool when extremely frightened.

If the cat drools frequently under other circumstances than contentment, then a dental problem is more than likely to blame and the cat does need veterninary attention.

I don't think you will be able to be rid of this drooling problem since it seems to be lap-connected. However, if you are concerned, talk to your vet about this.
