All the cats are normal, eating well and the litter box looks fine. :-/ I'm hoping this was a fluke and everybody is ok. One good thing came out of this experience though, as I finally went ahead and enrolled the kids in an insurance plan. I chose the one offered through the ASPCA, as it is a great organization and their prices were very competitive! http://www.aspcapetinsurance.com/ for those interested.  SignatureVictor M.

I'm glad they are all alright, but it would have been nice for you to know what happened, of course. Purring that it doesn't return, whatever it was.

Purring that it was no more than a very sophisticated Bastard Cat Trick, but why great catdaddies like you and Tom deserved it is beyond me. > Purring that it was no more than a very sophisticated Bastard Cat Trick, but > why great catdaddies like you and Tom deserved it is beyond me. Ah, it's because we feed them that horrible super premium, human-grade, no fillers, real meat and fish fancy food. If only we returned their favorite, chinese-fake-protein laden food.... they'd be happy! But that ain't gonna happen! SignatureVictor M.

Also, that would be a bit of a "cut your nose off to spite your face" BCT, since it can't have been very much fun for Luna! I'm glad she's OK. Joyce > Also, that would be a bit of a "cut your nose off to spite your face" BCT, > since it can't have been very much fun for Luna! We were tidying up a bit and I discovered a bag of hot paprika with teeth marks on it. I wonder if one of the cats got into the paprika and it irritated her tummy enough to cause some bleeding?

I wonder if one of the cats got into the paprika and > it irritated her tummy enough to cause some bleeding? For that matter, considering the color of paprika, are you sure it was blood at all? Joyce > For that matter, considering the color of paprika, are you sure it was > blood at all? Oh yeah, very different colors. I even grabbed some of the paprika and dissolved it in water. It's more of an orangey-red, not a blood-red like blood is. Plus there were also a couple of small clots. SignatureVictor M.

Yeah, paprika is sort of rust-colored, I guess. Still, I thought that maybe, mixed with other food, plus stomach acid, it might have ended up looking blood-like. Anyway, I wasn't there - you were. :) So maybe your theory that the spice irritated her stomach is a sound one. Although if that is the case, it seems like she might need to be on antacids. It seems a bit extreme for her to throw up so much blood after just one incident of eating an irritating food. Maybe she already had an ulcer, and this just aggravated it? Joyce > incident of eating an irritating food. Maybe she already had an ulcer, > and this just aggravated it? Other than an endoscopy, how do they diagnose ulcers? If any of our cats would ever get an ulcer, it would most certainly be Luna. :) SignatureVictor M.

If any of our cats > would ever get an ulcer, it would most certainly be Luna. :) I used to have a cat who had a bleeding ulcer - it was diagnosed by her throwing up blood. Maybe some blood in her stool, too (this was quite a number of years ago, so I'm not sure). I guess if neither of those things are happening now, she doesn't have an active ulcer, maybe just a very sensitive stomach. It would probably be good to keep an eye on it.

So glad things are settling down. I was a bit worried there. --Kim
