My first guess is that she is going into labor...unless she is not pregnant. Otherwise I would consult your cat's veterinarian. It could be a long list of issues or infections.

Vaginal discharge is the appearance of liquid material (other than urine) from the labia of the vulva (the external female genitals). Vaginal discharge may be clear and watery (serous), bloody, thick and gray (mucousy), yellow/green (purulent), or dark green/black (after giving birth). The discharge may or may not have an odor. Licking at the vulva may also be noted.
Vaginal discharge, depending on the type and circumstances, may be considered normal in some cases. However, its presence may also signify a disease process of the urinary tract or reproductive tract.
Causes
# Vaginal discharge is a normal finding in the immediate postpartum (after birth) period. A dark green to black discharge is often present for several days, and traces of discharge may persist for up to 3 weeks.
# When the placental sites do not recede in the queen after birth, then a persistent watery and sometimes bloody discharge may occur. This type of discharge is abnormal.
# Any discharge that occurs during a pregnancy is potentially abnormal.
# Urogenital tract infections, such as a urinary tract infection or an infected uterus (pyometra), may result in an opaque purulent discharge from the vulva.
# Neoplasia (cancer) of the urogenital tract may cause bloody, mucousy or purulent vaginal discharge.
# Vaginitis (inflammation of the vagina) may give rise to watery or mucousy discharge.
# Coagulation (clotting) disorders that result in abnormal bleeding may produce a bloody discharge that can be difficult to distinguish from blood in the urine (hematuria).
# Trauma or the presence of a foreign body in the vagina may result in bloody, watery or purulent discharge.
# Urinary incontinence (inability to hold urine in the bladder) secondary to an abnormal location (ectopic) of the ureter, or a problem with the bladder sphincter (the muscle that acts like a valve at the opening of the bladder) may result in pooling of urine in the vagina and secondary irritation and discharge. Congenital deformities of the ureters are rare in the cat.
# A defect and open communication (fistula) between the rectum and vagina may lead to the passage of watery fecal material from the vagina.
What to Watch For
# Vaginal discharge of any type other than the normal stream of urine
# Excessive licking of the vagina
# Scooting the bottom along the floor
# Increased urination and/or straining to urinate
# Difficulty defecating
# Lethargy, fever, increased thirst

If she hasn't been spayed yet then its possibly an uterine infection. Those are not good. Emergency spaying will be necessary. Take her to the vet immediately. We had to have our cat euthanized due to an uterine infection.

A vet could tell you more than most people on here. Grab a phone book and look up a local vet.

Is she pregnant? If so, check to see if her belly is hard...it could be delivery time. If shes not pregnant...she may have an infection from her litter box...see the vet.

is she spayed? if not it could be a pyometra(infection in the uterus), or she could be going into or coming out of heat.
Any type of discharge like that is not normal, contact your vet
