My cat is bleeding after blockage surgery. Should I be concerned?

Question

Hello, my 8 year old male cat had trouble peeing so I brought him to the vet where they told me he had a blockage so they put a catheter on him and performed surgery to remove the blockage. It's been a few days since he's come back home ans was recovering very well but today he started to bleed from his urethral opening...it's New Year's Eve and my vet is closed...he looks fine, is eating and peeing, should I be concerned? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 7 lbs

Poor Leo! He could be bleeding from the urethra due to trauma from the catheter and the surgery. Given that he is eating and peeing, I would monitor him for now. Take him into the vet if the bleeding continues, if he has trouble peeing, or he stops eating.
