Sometimes cats will drag their bottom on the ground after diarrhea because of the irritation. They can also do this is they have intestinal parasites or less commonly if they are having a problem with their anal glands (scent glands). I would offer her a bland food today if she s willing to eat - like gerber or beechnut human baby food in chicken or turkey. If she isn't eating well or if the vomiting and diarrhea persist I would have her evaluated by her veterinarian. I would bring a stool sample to the appointment to be tested for intestinal parasites. Vomiting and diarrhea in young cats can also be caused by eating things they shouldn't- toys, rubber bands, strings, plants. Let your vet know if this is a possibility also.
