HI, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I only recommend commercial kitten food for kittens. It is possible that the egg yolk was too rich for her and is now causing the diarrhea. Cats are extremely clean and she is likely licking herself to remove the leaking stool. Since she is so young and the diarrhea is so bad I would take her to your Vet for medications. I would try to not give her table food since she seems to have a sensitive stomach. Other causes of diarrhea are: intestinal parasites, viral or bacterial infections, toxin ingestion, pancreatitis, metabolic conditions. But if her stools were normal before the egg yolk then it is likely that. I hope this helps and I wish Noushmc a speedy recovery!
