Hmmmm....can't picture what it is your cat is doing. I'd think if there was hair stuck in his throat he would be gagging. I suppose if this is something new, and if it keeps up, you want to see a vet. And definitely see a vet right away if there's any trouble breathing or swallowing.

Is it like a lip smacking sound?

Our clinic cat make this loud clicking/lip smacking sound when he eats. We have checked him over and could not find anything wrong.
