Cat vomited 3 times in 4 hours, 2 times was good, 3rd time was bile, she also has soft slimey looking stool. Can I let this pass with time?

Poor girl, her intestines are definitely not feeling very good. I'd recommend looking/thinking about anything in your house that she could have eaten, paying particular attention to new plants you might have in the home for the holidays. If you can't find anything, and she's otherwise normal (eating, drinking, moving around), it's ok to wait to see if the vomiting continues today. If it continues or you see any of the previous symptoms, or think of a toxin or object she might have eaten, she needs to go to the vet tonight or tomorrow. Good luck!!
