What possible reasons are their for an apparently healthy two year old male
cat to pass blood in his urine? I only noticed it for the first time a few
hours ago. He is eating fine and appears as normal. The urine is a bright
red fine liquid, not much thicker than normal urine, but much thinner than
non diluted blood. On inspection of his kitty litter I noticed that through
the night this has occurred serveral times. He appears to have a normal
appetite.
Obviously I will be taking him to a vet as soon as possible, but any advice
will be appreciated.

Have him put down by the vet.

By the time this reply post makes it to this message board (takes 3 to 9
hours) you should already have had your cat taken to the vet. So probably
giving you advice would be a mute point. However, I'll give you advise
anyway. Call a vet, explain what's going on with your cat, and follow the
vets instructions.
Also, if you still haven't gone to the vet yet, get off your butt and go
now.

It should be put out of its misery. If he doesn't have the guts to do
it maybe someone else should.

Just because the cat has blood in his urine does not mean he has to be put
down right away. I have a 7 year old male cat who had blood in his urine.
I took him to the vet and was told it could be two things, kidney stones or
urinary tract infection. It turned out to be the second, which is easily
treated with medication. Take the little guy to the vet and get him
checked. They will tell you if it is something you can treat or if it is
time to let him go.
