Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | 2 years and 10 months old
My cat is relatively healthy, but then just one night I saw his poop has blood and I checked his rear, blood was dripping he doesnt appear to be in pain or anything. What could it be? Is it serious? Should I observe more?

Hello and welcome to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Blood in the feces can be caused by many different things including diarrhea (can be caused by eating something silly, worms, toxins), can also be caused by rat bait toxin, clotting factor problems, or an abscess. If there is blood dripping from the bum, then I would recommend having Krookie seen by a vet as soon as possible, as some of these conditions can be fatal if not treated right away. Likely it will be something that can be fixed with some medications, however best to get it checked right away. Best of luck with Krookie.
