Is my cat going to be okay after eating this?

Ask: Hello, so tonight my cat accidentally ate some barbecue baby back ribs. He didn't eat the bones, just a couple of little pieces of the meat. 

About 30 minutes later, out of my nowhere, my cat got up and started running around looking like he was choking, while a long brown piece of mucus was hanging out of his mouth, he was shaking his head back and forth really fast trying to get it out of his mouth but it looked like he couldn't, and I think he just ended up swallowing it because nothing came out on to the carpet. 

I picked him up to see if he was okay, and a little bit of the mucus got on to my finger from his mouth, I checked his mouth to make sure nothing was caught in there, everything was fine so I put him back down on the floor. About 10 minutes later I checked on him, he was just sitting on the floor like he usually does, and there was a little bit of a clear, kind of thick, substance dripping out of mouth. 

I wiped it off of him, and nothing has came back out and he hasn't had any weird behavior after that. He is a perfectly healthy cat, I am just worried that the ribs did something that harmed him. Any help? This has never happened before, and this was the first time he has ever eaten meat off of a baby back rib. It's about 4 hours later now and I've been checking on him, and he is still okay and no more of the brown mucus or clear substance is coming out anymore.

Reza:
Cats are literally made to eat meat, so there should literally be no reason that the meat that he ate should hurt him. However you should double check the ingredients in the sauce or anything used just in case because I know there are a couple ingredients that cats probably shouldn't have.

If it's been 4 hours though and he's not doing anything else he's probably ok. It might've just been a hair all or something before, or if he's never had meat before it might've been his body trying to adjust to it.

Did you see any worms crawling out of his eyes , nose , ears, or buttock, the worms are very slimy when you see them get a pencil or your tooth brush and wrap them around and pull on them slowly and they will come out.
