Why are there red dots on my cat's bedding? Is it flea dirt?

Question

I've now noticed that the clean bedding that i've put on my bed has the same red dotty stains from before. I washed this bedding 16 days ago and changed it with the bedding that is now in the washing. The bedding i washed 16 days ago is back on my bed. she didn't have flea dirt on her back then. Am I baffled. Are the red dots squished flea dirt that I had on my bed before without realizing that she had fleas? The flea dirt appeared on Saturday,wanted to get it confirmed by a vet yesterday.

I can see where this is frustrating. It is possible that you had flea dirt on your bed. If flea dirt gets wet it can cause red color. I am not 100% sure but I would make sure you do not have bed bugs or anything else like that. I have seen clients bring in there pets for bugs and it is actually a bed bug problem (there pet did not actually have bugs). However like I said fleas could be a cause too. I would recommend taking D'd to the vet for a good check up and applying flea prevention every 30 days.
