My cat just started vomiting out of nowhere. She is perky and active, and there is no diarrhea. Vomit is usually stomach acid

If she is otherwise acting fine, you could withhold food for 12 hours and see if the vomiting stops. If so, offer a small amount of a bland diet, like i/d or just some boiled chicken breast and see how she does with that. If the vomiting continues then she needs to be examined by a vet to determine the cause and treat. She could have an infection, parasite, etc. and your vet can run some lab-work to help diagnose and then prescribe medications to help stop the vomiting.
