Hi,

There are many reasons why a cat might have blood in its stools, but all are
worth a vetinary examination in a small kitten.  The diarrhoea on its own
can be serious in such a little critter, causing dehydration and general
loss of body weight.  From your description it's hard to tell what the
curled up black things are.  You should take these dubious things with you
to show the vet.

I appreciate that you may be anxious to keep your little treasure
parasite-free but, certainly while she's ill, you should stop the bathing
with insecticidal shampoo.   If, because of her diarrhoea, she is so soiled
you need to wash her then use a mild kitten/puppy shampoo or a little baby
shampoo, but don't overdo it.  If washing seems to you to be necessary every
day, then just use warm water to sponge her, otherwise you could end up with
a cat that has dry, irritable skin.   Cats don't need to wash their hair
every day in the manner of many humans.  Indeed, they need oil-rich skin and
fur to help insulate them and help them shed rainwater.
I do bath my cats, but only rarely when it's *absolutely* necessary.

Do take your little kitten to the vet.  Not just because she's ill, but
because it's always advisable to register even a healthy kitten with a vet
so that you can arrange vaccinations and neutering.  At 6 mnths, your kitten
is about the right age for de-sexing, but your vet won't attempt this
operation while kitty is ill.  Whilst you're with the vet, you will be able
to ask for advice on many things that are new to you.  Please don't put this
off.

Best of luck to you and kitty.

Don't use ANY over-the-counter worm or flea medications.  They are not
only ineffective but dangerous (cats have died from some of them).  You
do need to take the kitten to the vet as soon as possible.
