Is my cat going to puke or die?

I've got a young but full grown tabby cat that has a bad habit of playing in the kitchen sink.
Usually cute, but unfortunately my mom left a can of tuna that had been sitting open in the fridge for a month in the sink. Lo and behold, he ate almost the entire can.
What should I do? He seems fine, but this was only an hour or two ago. He ate approximately the same quantity of tuna as I would feed him regular cat food, but this stuff was pretty nasty looking.
Do they make cat ipecac?

My cats sometimes like to throw up things that did agree with them, just for fun. I think sometimes they like to see which will happen faster: I manage to clean it up, or they manage to eat it again.
In other words, cats are pretty resilient and yours will probably be fine. There's no reason to worry, especially if he's not acting abnormally.
Unsolicited advice: Clean out your fridge more often.
Stupid cat.
My cats LOVE, I mean, LOVE LOVE LOVE, raw chicken. If they smell it, or see the glint of the meat knife as I prepare to cut it, they go absolutely batshit insane and start trying to scale the kitchen island to get some. I, of course, always give them a little bit of raw chicken (not just fat), and never cooked.
Their morning diet is actually raw food nuggets, which is très bourgeois. Now, if I was eating raw meat my stomach wouldn't stop telling me what a bad idea it was for days, but for cats it's a pretty sweet deal. They're obligate carnivores and it's surprising what they can put down, as long as it's meat.
The only time my cat's puked is from overeating, where he ate some raw and then followed it up with a shitload of wet food (because the other cat wasn't on the raw yet). He barfed for about 10 minutes, all over the house, but was otherwise fine. I've also had some run in with cat diarrhea, thankfully not very much, but that was from giving them Frisky's wet food. If you can help it, don't give your cat cheap-ass food. Much better for their bodies, fur, health, and your sanity.
some cats, by the way, throw up for no reason at all.
