Tigger went in his litter tray this morning and...

That's an interesting link Emma. I did mean to add about being more cautious if the blood was dark red. Bright red (fresh blood) I think is less of a worry. I had mentioned to our vet about blood in Sasha's stool at our next visit and he did not seem overly concerned as otherwise she is perfectly healthy (if a little overweight

) and it was not prolonged.

It is a very informative site Kim, another reason why a cat can have blood in it's stools is stress, a Bengal cat once came into our home and couldn't get out and was trapped in the house for what could have been the whole day, when we came home we opened the front door and it rushed out, and Arthur has blood in his stool that time, he hated that cat and once got into a really bad fight with it, and my OH had to separate them, I have never seen cats fight like that before !

That must have been scary Emma. Poor Arthur! It amazes me what physical symptoms stress can cause. It has a lot to answer for, obviously in cats as well as humans!!

I did wonder who it was that rushed for the door when I first opened it. Although it obviously stressed Arthur out, I think he can look after himself, we were more worried about Bronwyn as we had only just got her and couldn't find her when we came in, she was hiding lol I am sure Arthur acted as her knight in shining armour though

He's totally fine in him self, eating, drinking, playing.

I'm hurt that you even said I shouldn't have a cat. I would die just for him, I love him that much.

You don't know my cat so you shouldn't say things like that.

But he isn't ill. This thread was only asking what it means to have blood in poo!... Id thought someone would know.

Yeah he did have a tiny bit... I didn't even see it, it was my mum that said she saw it. But she cant see very well anyway.lol.

you asked for opinins and several people said take him to the vets.
You stated it was too expensive.

you might love your cat, and I wasnt doubting you did, but if you arent prepared to get him vet treatment cos of the cost are you prepared to let him suffer instead?

You should take into account the vets bills before you even get a cat. If you can't afford the bills associated with owning a pet then dont get a pet.

ok it might be nothing this time, but your cat deserves tretment or checking when it could be something.

I am afraid I agree if you can't afford vet bills then people shouldn't have pets. I am sure a lot of rescues have seen the results of pets that haven't had treatment for a variety of things even though they may have been "loved".

We can afford the bills!

I'm leaving this thread alone from now on.
Thanx for suggestions though.
