She may have just had a temporary upset stomach or a hairball. No worries. She will groom herself and get the vomit off. Just continue to monitor her for any decreased appetite, loose stool or lethargy. If she continues to vomit then it’s best to have her examined by your vet to make sure everything is ok. Best wishes and take care.
