It could be a urinary infection or a bladder inflammation it could also be coming from the anal area which would make me suspect of a gastrointestinal issue. either way i would strongly advise to take her to the vet ASAP in order to get it treated.

    Poor Hazel! It could be she is suffering from idiopathic feline cystitis or bladder stones causing the blood in her urine. I would call the vet in the morning to make an appointment for her. The vet can do a physical exam, blood work, and a urinalysis to diagnose what is causing the blood in her urine, and can treat her for it. Best of luck, I hope this helps!
