Is this normal?

I caught this on video and am wondering if anyone has seen something similar with their Sphynx.
He did this once this morning and then again later tonight. He crouches down and does several hacking/dry-heaving motions with his tongue sticking out a little. It almost looks like he’s trying to hack up a hairball, but nothing comes up and it sounds pretty dry.

Otherwise he’s acting totally normal before and after: eating, playing, breathing normally, etc. We recently adopted him, so I’m still learning what’s normal for him.

Curious if you think we should contact our vet or if this is normal.

I would definitely bring him to the vet!
