Hi this came out of my cats butt after pooping.. it was sliding down her bum and I had to wipe it off, any clue what it could be?

It looks like she may have had some bloody stool or diarrhea, or the blood might have been coming from an anal gland. If the stool in the litter box looked normal and she is acting fine otherwise I'd recommend monitoring her closely over the next 24 hours to see if it happens again and if it does I'd recommend seeing a veterinarian for an exam.
