Has he got anything on his fur? Maybe he's walked through grass that has had weedkiller on it and has got onto his fur?

Antifreeze (might be spilled on the road if someone is topping up and draining their car radiator) is irresistably sweet for cats and dogs. He might have got some on his paws?

It is a strong sign of him feeling nauseous; both the frantic licking and the drooling.

He has probably eaten something which doesn't agree with him. Keep a close eye on him in case what he has eaten is making him properly ill, rather than just feeling sick.

If it continues today, he needs to visit the vet ASAP.
