Good morning. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Blood in the urine in a male cat can be from many things but the most common things would be stress cystitis (inflammation of the bladder), bladder stones or urinary crystals. This can be a serious problem. I suggest you take him to your vet for an exam and to have his urine tested.
