Call your vet ... it could be as simple as something she ate or a far more serius problem

It's not normal, and it means that the food is passing through the cat without being digested.

I'd take the cat to the vet, and also get a good cat book. Dr. Bruce Fogle's CAT OWNER'S MANUAL is the one I use; it provides answers to that question and many more.

Ok, I took her to the vet. But he said that she was fine and now I'm wondering how he could tell by simply looking her up and down? And now I'm looking out from the window and she is eating a truckload of grass!

Wait til the cat has pooped, and try to get a sample before it's covered up (though it's okay to get it if the cat buries it.) Put it in a small plastic container--a yogurt container is fine.

The vet should do a flotation (taking a piece of it and putting it in water to check for worms.) Runny green stuff is NOT normal and you should certainly get this cat to another vet as soon as possible, since this may be a GI infection or defect and can lead to real trouble.
