Why is my cat restless, meowing, and pooping hard with blood/mucus?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Persian | Male | neutered | 1 year and 10 months old | 7.6 lbs

Bunny was feeling quite restless tonight. He was constantly running around and meowing really loud. When I went after him to check up on him, he had pooped hard and there were 2-3 drops of blood on his poop and some mucous. Is this something serious? Please guide me regarding the issue.

Bunny may be constipated. You can get laxatone over the counter and administer 1/2-1 tsp by mouth twice a day to help move the stool along, but since Bunny seems uncomfortable now, bringing him to your vet for an exam, an enema to clear out his colon, and lactulose to give at home as well as a prescription diet called Royal Canin GI Fiber Response to keep this from happening again would likely be the best option. Good luck!
