My kitten threw up string but seems fine. Does he need to see a vet?

My kitten just vomited a long piece of string. He's been eating and drinking water since and seems fine. Should I take him to the vet if he acts normal?

If you're able to pay close attention to Panda's energy, eating, bowel movements and urinations- specifically looking for vomiting, gagging, not eating, not defecating, straining to defecate or diarrhea- then monitoring him would be acceptable! I hope he recovers without problem!!
