Just like humans, cats can have many many reasons for vomiting. Without knowing more history, it's hard to say what may be the cause. Here is a link about vomiting: https://www.petcoach.co/article/vomiting-in-cats/ I recommend to start with a veterinary visit and to have her stool checked for parasites (It's estimated that 20% of indoor cats have worms). This and the physical exam will begin to start narrowing down the potential causes. Some cats struggle with regurgitation from eating too quickly or hairballs. Slow feeders, supplements and changes in diets can help with the conditions. I hope this helps to point you in the right direction and please feel free to post any additional questions.
