Thanks for taking the time to read this post and giving some thought to it. Any professional assistance in advise would be appreciated for this matter.

My oldest cat 'Tiger' who is now 1 year old, an orange tabby with gold eyes is a pretty massive cat. He is healthy and strong, I take him for walks on a leach, he eats well, litter seems normal and plays with my youngest orange tabby 'Tabby' who is only 2.5 months. In the last few weeks, I noticed that 'Tiger' lays down on the kitchen table and hangs his head from the edge. He closes his eyes and stays this way for up to a half hour. I am wondering if he is having a migraine headache or not feeling well. Also in these last few weeks I began noticing some dried blood around his nostrils and I remove it with a q-tip in the morning. I wonder if this is a seasonal thing or if something internal can be causing this small nose bleed. 'Tiger' is not allowed outside alone, but he does sit on the balcony and takes walks with me in the park regularly. Any advise on what this small amount of dried blood around the nostrils may be associated with?

to me. I don't have an answer. Maybe it could be sinus related. Is the air very dry where you live. AC on? Is he drinking normally? Not much help but I am sure someone will have an idea. My motto, when in doubt see the vet. Good luck.

Yes the air is pretty dry I have a stuffy nose myself and the AC was on pretty much the entire summer. He is drinking water yes, like normal. Thanks for your support.
