Constipation can cause blood but there are many other causes that are more common like infections and parasites. I recommend to have Talson examined and have the stool checked (make sure to bring in a fresh sample) for parasites. A bland diet may also help. Best of luck.

Thanks for using PetCoach. Both roundworms and a sudden change in diet can cause diarrhea with blood. I'd recommend treating the roundworms with something like this. https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/cat/cat-health-and-wellness/wormers-for-cats/excel-roundworm-cat-de-wormer Consider adding a probiotic like Forti-Flora to help as well. If no improvement in 3 days of treatment - or worsening at any time, its time to see your vet. Best of luck to you and Ron!

Intestinal worms are a cause of both diarrhea and blood in the stools in cats, but it can also be caused by GI polyps, a foreign body, severe GI disease, trauma to the GI tract, and GI tumors among others. Having blood in the feces is serious, and it's always recommended to have a cat with that checked out by a vet. I would see if your vet accepts payment plans, if there is a low cost clinic in your area, or check the internet for resources to afford a vet in France. There are OTC dewormers you can get to treat worms, but Vee should still see a vet for the blood in his stools.

When you notice blood in your cat's feces you need to take him to the vet ASAP, worms is an option but not a very common one to cause bleeding, there are a lot of other conditions that are more likely to be the cause of this symptom such as IBD, tumor or food allergy.
