Hi guys!

For a few weeks now, I've been finding small blood spatters in the bathroom sink, where my puss sleeps. I took her to the vet, but he didn't find anything and even suggested that I might be imagining things! We're due for another visit on monday...
I'm very concerned, 'cause we can't figure out which part of her the blood is coming from (paws, nose...). She sneezed once or twice in the last few days, but nothing alarming.
Please help us if you've heard of anything similar.
Thanxx

Could your cat possibly have some fleas? If fleas are a possibility then it could be flea dirt which is flea feces comprised of digested blood. When the flea dirt gets wet or even damp it turns red. Just a thought! Hope you can figure out what it is.

If it's not from sneezing and it's not from fleas, have them check her urine. My mom's cat would pee in the bathtub or bathroom sink if she got a urinary tract infection. Some urinary tract infections can result in blood in the bladder.

That's what my Siamese Susie did also. She peed in the sink and then kept calling me until I saw the blood then she jumped down off the counter. Turned out she had a urinary infection.
