In this case, Angora, who is only a cat lover and not a veterinarian, can only determine a few of the main reasons why yellow fluid can come out when a cat dies. Angora knew about the reason why the cat died have yellow discharge was the result of having experienced similar incidents several times.
It's understandable because long ago i have much local cats and many of them have died because I used to be very layman about cat diseases. As long as the cat can eat and drink, I'm happy and feel like I have nothing to worry about.
As time goes by and the number of deaths, I can't help but grieve for losing them again. Then when the cat is sick, I always see certain symptoms when the cat suffers from a disease and try to treat it myself if it feels like the disease is only a mild disease such as intestinal worms.

Dead Cats Release Yellow Liquid, What Causes It ?
Why do cats excrete or vomit yellow liquid when they die ? Of course, the best answer is disease. Generally the diseases that usually cause this based on my own experience are :
1. Diarrhea
Cats who have diarrhea are usually thin due to loss of appetite. The cat is lazy to eat because cat feels that his stomach is not in good condition and hurts. Cats who suffer from diarrhea will usually tend to prefer to just drink and avoid eating.
There are many reasons why cats suffer from this health problem. Some of the causes include :
Often drink raw water
Often given raw food
Change of food
Bad diet
Intestinal parasites
Bacteria
Virus
Of the several causes above, generally what often makes cats diarrhea is the provision of raw food and drinks and the presence of parasites in the intestines. When a cat has diarrhea, a change in the cat's attitude will be obvious.
A cat that was active, cheerful and friendly will turn into a quiet, very lazy and sleep more often. Not only that, the cat that used to always poop and pee in the litter box will also pee carelessly. Based on my observations, cats who suffer from diarrhea seem unable to hold their feces as a result, they throw it out carelessly.
Cats may also appear to be in a bit of pain or discomfort when passing feces. At first we might think the cat has intestinal disease, but this is because the cat is having diarrhea. If you are in doubt whether the cat has diarrhea or intestinal pain, you can have it checked by a veterinarian.
In addition to being lazy to eat, open defecation, diarrhea can also make the cat's body and mouth smell. This is due to the cat licking the former diarrhea and then licking the whole body.
After reading the explanation above, now you know that why a dead cat oozes yellow fluid from its rectum. Namely when he was dying his stomach hurt and he wanted to defecate. Because he couldn't hold it in, the liquid and yellow dirt came out from inside his body.
2. Poisoning
Poisoning can also be the reason why a dead cat can secrete a yellow liquid. This yellow liquid will generally come out through the cat's mouth. This occurs due to the body's resistance to toxins.
When toxins try to damage the body, the stomach will try to remove these harmful substances from the body. If the poisoning condition is mild, some of the poison will come out of the body and will not harm the cat if we provide proper treatment.
If it turns out that the cat is seriously poisoned, only some of the poison will come out along with the cat's vomit, while some will damage organs in the body such as causing liver, kidney failure and the like.
However, cats who are severely poisoned often vomit their stomach contents in the form of a yellow liquid, convulsions and then die. Even when we try to take the cat to the vet, it is common for the cat to die on the way to the vet.
3. Worms
For ordinary people or people who have just kept a cat, intestinal worms in cats may seem trivial. But worms can cause death in cats if the cat is not given medication. The cat will die with a distended stomach, hard and yellow discharge from the rectum or mouth.
Cats die due to lack of food that is digested by the body which is usually used as a source of energy and to fulfill the body's nutrition. This is due to the food being digested by the parasitic worms in the body.
In the early stages of worms, cats will still look active and don't seem to feel anything wrong in their bodies. It's just that the cat's body will look more caring and his stomach is a bit distended. In the intermediate stage, the cat's body will be thinner, the stomach will get bigger, the cat will be greedy and sleep more often.
This is a sign that there are more and more worms in the body and it can get worse. The final stage is when there are too many live worms in the cat's stomach, the cat will vomit worms, worms come out of the cat's rectum, the cat's poop bleeds and the cat's condition gets weaker.
If the cat continues to be left and is not immediately treated, the cat's life can be at stake.
4. Panleukopenia Virus
Another thing that can cause a dead cat to vomit yellow is the panleukopenia virus caused by feline parvovirus infection. Panleukopenia is a dangerous disease and is highly contagious between cats. However, this disease does not infect humans.
Characteristics of cats infected with this virus include :
Weak
Less Power
Diarrhea
No Appetite
Frequent Vomiting ( Including Yellow Vomiting )
When a cat is infected with the varvo virus that causes panleukopenia, the risk of cat death is very high because until now there is no cure for this case.
But we can do prevention and increase the cat's immunity by vaccinating. Vaccination in cats is usually done when the cat is 7 to 9 weeks old.
5. Digestive Organ Problems
The last which is the cause of yellow discharge when the cat dies is the result of chronic digestive problems caused by inflammatory bowel disease ( IBD ), including gastritis, pancreatitis, enteritis, and colitis.
After reading the explanation above, now your confusion over a cat that is dead and emitting a yellow liquid has been answered. Hopefully this article is useful for you. Don't forget to share it with your family, relatives, other cat lovers and your social media.
