You can be a good kitten parent and help her clean by taking a wet cloth or tissue and clean off the diarrhea. Make sure you remove it all and then throw away the tissue or wash the cloth. If the diarrhea does not go away within a few days, you should take her to your vet for an exam. She may have worms or an intestinal infection or a food sensitivity issue that needs to be addressed.
