Does kidney failure in cats cause discharge in their urine?

No, kidney failure on its own would not cause blood, mucus, or any other type of discharge in the urine. It's possible that Honey has a bladder infection, bladder stones, or some other problem causing this. I would recommend taking her to the vet for an exam - he/she can do a urinalysis as well as x-rays or ultrasound if needed to help determine what is causing the bloody discharge and get her started on appropriate treatment depending on what is found.
