My female cat is discharging blood from her vaginal area, doesnt appear to have pus or anything just blood. She is still playing but not too much and she’s eating right but i do feel like her temperature is a lil high. And she wants to be near me always.

Oh dear - Comel needs to be seen by a vet immediately. She may have a serious urinary tract/bladder infection, bladder stones, or other primary urinary tract issues - but my biggest concern is the possibility of a pyometra, which is a life-threatening infection of the uterus. This is not something that is safe to wait on - you need to contact your nearest emergency clinic immediately. If she has a pyometra, she may need surgery right away to remove her infection-filled uterus or it can rupture. Good luck! Hope this helps!
