My cat keeps throwing up, won't eat, and sounds sad. What's wrong?

Question

My cat threw up 3 times while asleep. One was actual cat food, the other two looks like either bile or just spit up. Her water was empty so I filled that and gave her her food. After work today, there looks to be no signs of her throwing up again, however, her food is still full. I saw her walk up and drink water, then about 20 minutes later she was meowing in a really sad tone. I walked up to her to see what was wrong and then she threw up again but it was just foam. Is this just a hairball? Pet's info: Cat | Chantilly-Tiffany | Female | spayed

That much vomiting in a short span is concerning, and being unable to keep water down is a good reason to get her in to be seen by your vet as soon as possible. Cats need to eat, they cannot go more than two or three days without food before they risk serious liver disease. The change in voice is even more reason to get her seen. It could indeed be a hairball, but since she hasn't produced one, if it is a hairball, it is one she can't easily vomit back up.
