Answer 1

I would suggest you educate yourself on cats.  You're getting this kind of response because people here are really tired of postings from others that don't take the time to learn about their animals.

Cats can't tell you what's wrong, so that's why it's important to read up on their actions, as these tell you exactly what's going on.

I would check with the vet, as they start not using their catbox because they're in pain.  The urge to go outweighs what they've been trained.  

Plus blood?  Had I found that from my girls, I would have been to the vet within an hour.  REGARDLESS OF THE COST.

Bottom line:  A responsible pet owner would do anything for their pet.  They would also educate themselves on the breed and be prepared for anything.

On a last note:  I would love to get a dog, but need to educate myself on dog ownership, costs, breeds and what will work for me.  Until I do all those things, I am not an appropriate dog owner.  PERIOD.

Answer 7

If i was you, i would take her to the vets. It might be something or nothing, but its better to get her checked out

Answer 8

no one here can tell you what is wrong with your cat.  we didn't go to veterinary school.  

Answer 9

Possibly diabetes but haven't heard about blood in poo with that.  Try not to worry, she could have just scratched her bottom while going to the toilet, as long as it wasn't lots of blood.  Hope she gets better soon as she's at a good age to fight any health problems.  

Answer 10

It could be anything from worms to colon cancer.  It's best to let the vet have a look and find out what's going on so it can be treated promptly and appropriately.
