100 mg is a regular dose for sedation for fearful or aggressive cats, so just biting it shouldn't affect him much. I recommend keeping an eye on him for adverse symptoms. He may be off-balance, sleepy, may vomit, or drool, but these were observed by owners after a full dose, so again, you may not see much of an effect. If he does seem too sedate, or if he displays any symptoms that concern you, I recommend getting him seen by your vet or an emergency clinic;; it's better to be safe than sorry.
