My cat is drooling a lot but still eating. Should I be concerned?

Question

My cat has been drooling all night. He has been eating and drinking water and still affectionate. However, he has been extra clingy (wanting to cuddle for a short period of time before running off once he realizes the area he is at is now wet due to his drool. Should I be concerned? As far as I know, he has not consumed anything out of the ordinary. Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Male | neutered | 5 years and 2 months old | 8 lbs
