This is a very odd behavior. I am not sure if it is just for fun, related to his other issues, or possibly a neurologic disorder. Vomiting and diarrhea in a kitten can be caused by food intolerance or allergies, intestinal parasites, bacterial or viral gastroenteritis, GI blockage, inflammatory bowel disease, among others. I would recommend that you have Clyde examined by a vet to see what is going on,
