I have just taken in a new cat who is a year and a half old and at first she seemed fine but tonight she has had blood in her stool, this was not just a little bit of blood it was quite a bit, so i changed the litter tray and have seperated her from my other 2 cats until i can get her to the vets tomorrow, i just went in to check on in the kitchen and i found a small pool of blood on the floor about the size of a golf ball from looks like it has come from her bum as she has a bit of blood there still. Does anyone have any ideas on what this could be? as i am really worried.

Could be a LOT of things. My only suggestion is the vet.
In the meantime, if there isn't an emergency vet in your area, make sure you sterilize everything that your other cats may come in contact with - Bleach!!!!
This cat could have a disease the others could catch.
But as said before - I'd be looking for an on call/after hours vet.

I second the idea of taking your cat to an emergency vet asap if your vet is out of the office. She could be hemorhaging, and I don't want her to lose too much blood which can be very dangerous and fatal. Please do take her to a vet immediately! Hoping that she feels better in a jiffy.

I agree, internal bleeding a possibility (when animals are hit by car or may suffer internal bleeding, vets sometimes wait to see if there's any blood loss coming from any of the orifices).
How is her stool? Normal, constricted looking? Runny?
May also be hookworms or a sharp obstruction in bowel/rectal areas.
Emerg. if persists without any let-up to.

Dogs get menstraul periods, but cats do not. This isn't normal. Check on her during the night, and make sure she gets to the vet tomorrow for sure.

Might be Inflammatory Bowel Disease. Could
also be cancer. Either way change her diet to
Lamb baby food. Very easy to digest.
Hope for the best at the vets.

Hey dahlin, do you live in the wilderness? Take your cat to the vet. If you don't have cash, plastic works just as well. But rectal bleeding is serious.

Like everyone else said, take her to the vet right away.
Was she spayed? If not, she could be having her 'period.'
Awwwe, your little kitty is growing up! Well, I hope that's the case.
But yeah, take her to the vet immediately to see what's happening!

just take her to the vet. it might be something as simple as a period but it could be something worse.
