My cat started doing this weird thing with his mouth, and moving his paws up to the mouth. It almost looks like as if there would be something hanging out from the mouth and he's attempting to "pull" it out. The first thought was of course that he had something stuck in his mouth, trying to get it out, but there is nothing (visible anyways) stuck in there. It's been going on for a few weeks, occasionally not constantly, but once he starts he keeps doing it for a while.
We have looked inside his mouth and carefully touched his teeth to make sure nothing is loose, and everything seems to be in order and he is not showing any discomfort as if it would be in pain, while we touched his teeth. Here are two video clips from last night of him doing it. Any ideas? Please don't just say "take him to the vet" if you have no idea what this is. Of course I know I need to take him and I will, but before I do I wanted to ask here if any of you have seen this behavior before and know what it is.
