Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / June 2005Cats bleeding?
My cats love the bathroom and get all over the bathtub, toilet and sink. Lately I have seen what appears to be blood spatters where they've been roaming. I only notice it in the bathroom. I've checked them all over (paws, anus) for signs of bleeding but can't find anything. Has anyone seen similar? Is it something else that only LOOKS like blood? turgor...@aol.com wrote: > My cats love the bathroom and get all over the bathtub, toilet and > sink.

If they are very tiny, they could be what is called "flea poop". I would recommend a vet check just to make sure everything is okay, and they can also see if your cats are having a flea problem. Lauren Yep--it was fleas. I was surprised because I checked and checked them for fleas and never found any. Back on the Advantage. First time since they were kittens 6 years ago. > Yep--it was fleas.

Fleas can be hard to spot. Glad to hear it wasn't anything too serious. Lauren > My cats love the bathroom and get all over the bathtub, toilet and > sink.

Only notice it in the bathroom, where floors get a little wet from showering and steam? > My cats love the bathroom and get all over the bathtub, toilet and > sink.

Hi, My cat had the same problem, turned out he had crystals - which is a urine tract infection. Just spots of blood. He also loved to play in the bathroom tub. He felt comfort some how in there. Cats with Urine infections try to go where they're comfortable, he would try to pee in the tub drain. No pee would come out but little spots of blood. Bring your cat to the vet asap just incase. Urine tract problems are common and deadly!! Jacquie |
