Why is my unspayed cat pooping blood and crying in pain during heat?

Question

Scarlett is not fixed, possibly could be pregnant but just went into heat still. If she is pregnant she'd be only couple weeks along. She is pooping what looks like a little blood in very runny mucusy stool, and has been crying out in pain during this heat çycle, seems to be at the time she'd normally want someone attention and be extremely loving. I don't have the cash right now to take her to the vet without an idea of what its possibly wrong with her, full payment at time of service. Plz help. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 10 months and 5 days old | 3 lbs

When pregnant, cats do not go into heat. Scarlett is either in heat and isn't pregnant, or is pregnant. It's concerning that she is pooping a little bit of blood, this could be from a GI illness, a foreign body, a sudden change in diet, or eating something rotten. I can give you a home remedy to see if that helps her if it's only a little bit of blood. Feed her a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in her normal diet. If the diarrhea continues on the bland diet, there is still blood in the poop, she starts vomiting food, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, she will need to see a vet right away. I hope this helps!
