I have a female cat, Emma and she has what looks like a small pellet halfway out of her anus whenever we clean it off afterwards there's a tiny bit of blood. What's this??

She may have an infected anal sac or a little growth. You should have this examined by a veterinarian. If it is an impacted anal sac, it can easily be emptied. If it is a growth, it may have to be removed.
