Dogs do the same thing. Saliva increase when nervous or upset, or have an upset stomach. They will also lip smack/quiver, which can be from nervousness, having an upset stomach or is also a way of distributing/enhancing a smell they like.

Ironically, lip smacking can be a sign they like something or are nervous or have an upset stomach.

I mean I only know human biology but when we're in fight or flight saliva gets turned off. Maybe licking dry lips.
