That discharge is not normal, and it appears to be blood in the picture. Even when a cat is in heat, they do not have discharge. I'm concerned that Bumble could have a pyometra (infection of the uterus) causing this discharge. Please take her into a vet immediately to get checked out as if she does have a pyometra, it's fatal without treatment. Best of luck.
