If she is eating and drinking and playful with no diarrhea, then you can wait until her appointment. If she starts vomiting or having bloody diarrhea, then I would take her right away Blood after a BM can be from the diet due to straining and ruptured a blood vessel. The mucous can be from an infection or a parasite problem. You can try to increase the water intake or add canned food to help minimize the straining. you may need to change brands or ingredients of food to help

The diet is a possibility although it is a little to be associated with that. Typically diet changes will affect them within 7 days of change. It can be inflammation or colitis from an inflammatory bowel or bacterial population problem IF there is no diarrhea or vomiting and she still acts fine, then I would get a feline probiotic to add to the diet. This can help replenish the normal bacteria and can take up to 2 weeks for the max benefit. If the blood continues though I would get her checked and see if you need a prescription hypoallergenic diet or GI formula diet to help

This bloody poop could be caused by intestinal worms, a sudden change in diet, giving Miniee a new food, or a severe illness. It can have some very serious causes, which is why it should be checked out by a vet promptly. I'd take her into a vet now. Best of luck.
