If Kassi hasn't had soft food before, this change of diet could be causing the soft stool and vomiting. It could also be caused by any medication she is currently taking. Give her vet a call to let them know you are seeing these symptoms, and they can advise you if they want you to bring her in or not. I hope this helps.
