it might be the other way around , vomiting and not eating caused liver enzymes to elevate , cats are pretty sensitive to not eating for a day or two , they might develop a condition called hepatic lipidosis , so you need to do full labs trying to discover the real cause , abdominal x-ray , you need to assess dehydration level , and you also need to support her with parenteral nutrition as long as the vomiting continues till you figure the cause or she return to eating with no vomiting

hairballs , worms , diet change , gastroenteritis , poisoning , intestinal obstruction , cholangitis , that's all i could think of for a kitten .
