My cat's stool has dry red, but she's normal. Is it blood or food?

Is this blood in my cat's stool? Or did she just probably get into something? The red stuff is completely dry and my cat is acting normally.

I could be wrong but it doesn't look like blood to me, it's too bright almost pink to be fresh blood. she could have eaten something that had this color and did not get digested. check the stools again today or tomorrow to make sure it was a one time thing.
