We do not normally see bleeding when cats are in heat like we do in dogs. You can read more about the feline estrus cycle at https://veterinarypartner.vin.com/default.aspx?pid=19239&id=4952101 . If you are seeing liquid from the anus, I would be concerned she could have diarrhea or her anal sacs could be full, in which case I would recommend a veterinary exam. Best of luck to you and Runiyah.
