My cat is peeing blood but seems fine. Should I worry or wait?

Question

My male cat (4 years old) is urinating small amounts of blood. He seems to feel fine otherwise (he’s still playing and running around with no problem). How can I help him? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Jack. Urinating blood indicates a problem with his bladder, and he could have feline idiopathic cystitis or bladder stones. He will need to see a vet for this problem. If he appears otherwise healthy and happy, eats and drinks plenty, you can wait until tomorrow morning. If he appears lethargic, ill or distressed, or if the urine appears very bloody, then he should be seen by a vet ASAP. Feed him wet/canned food, add water to it, and make sure he drinks a lot of water to help flush the bladder. I hope this helps!
