My cat is 12 yo indoor only female. She is drinking water normally and urinating, but hasnt eaten in 6 days. Seems to not want food. 4 days ago she tried to eat and vomited. Now all she throws up is bile. She has deficated twice since. Her energy level is normal so we have no idea what is going on.

Hello and welcome to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Vomiting, especially after wanting to eat, is a concern for an obstruction or something stuck in her stomach. I would recommend having her seen by a vet and have an x-ray done. She could just have a gastritis or a sore upset stomach, however not eating for 6 days for a cat is a concern. Your vet may also check Snowball's liver values for a disease called 'fatty liver'. Best of luck with Snowball.
