Oh no. Poor kitty! : ( Bloody stool along with lethargy (not wanting to play) is suspicious for an intestinal parasite or bacterial infection. I would highly recommend taking Thomas in to your vet right away to have the stool tested. The kitty also could have eaten something that just really upset his stomach, in which case a short course of antibiotics and probiotics should help resolve the bloody stool. The vet will make a full assessment exam and then go from there. I hope that Thomas feels better soon! Best wishes and take care.
