Cat Acts Like Drinking Water

My cat acts like he is drinking water when he is not. My male cat Max loves water. He loves to drink out of the bathtub faucet. I even bought a Drink well fountain that both he and my female cat use.

But lately Max has been turning his head to the side and pretending that he is drinking from a source of running water. Even making the licking sounds. It is driving me crazy! I am worried that I am missing some sort of problem.

Does anyone else have a cat that does this strange drinking water behavior? I will be taking Max for his annual check up in a few weeks and I will ask the vet.
