Kitten fell, vomited, and urinated blood. Is it an emergency?

Question

I have a 7 month old male kitten, he tried jumping from the couch to the kitchen table but didn’t fully make it and fell back onto the ground. He threw up a little after, and then about 15 minutes later he urinated blood and threw up again. I’ve picked him up and he seems okay, he’s eaten and walking around normally. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 6 months and 27 days old

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Leo! It sounds as though Leo hurt his belly/bladder area possibly. This is unusual after a fall for a cat. He must have hit himself very hard. Another possibility is that it has nothing to do with the fall and he is having trouble urinating. Cats vomit and urinate blood if they have a urinary obstruction (unable to urinate) which is a life threatening condition. If the bloody urine and vomiting is from trauma then watch him closely. If you have other cats, isolate him in a room by himself, so you can monitor urination, vomiting and appetite. If he seems normal after 24 hours then let him out. If he vomits again, there is more blood in his urine, he is lethargic, not eating, or is having trouble urinating he should see a Vet immediately. I hope this helps and I wish Leo a speedy recovery!
