Kitten poisoning causes restlessness, violent vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, twitching, drooling, breathing trouble, and no appetite.

So see a vet promptly if suspected.
What happens if a kitten scratches its stomach?
A kitten with a stomach scratch usually has abdominal pain, stomach bleeding, and reduced appetite; blood in stool turns it black, so feces look dark. Severe scratches or secondary infection may cause vomiting with blood. Withhold food and water; if no more vomiting, give probiotics and anti-inflammatories. If persistent vomiting or lethargy, see a vet for X-ray to locate the scratch and treat.
