I have been watching a movie on Hulu with the house dark this morning. Darcy was laying between my legs as usual. She had shifted positions once or twice, but I don't recall hearing her sneeze. So I turned the lamp on so I could get a drink of water and there on the cat tree is fresh, bright red blood. It was not there when I sat down this morning.
I looked for the accompanying fluids that I would expect like poo or vomit, but it is just blood (bright red, not dark red). I look at both ends of the cats and examine their paws and everywhere else I could think of and find nothing. There, on the back of my laptop, is a bright red nose smear - ok so it is Darcy's nose. I take a q-tip and gently swab each of her nostrils and come out with a little red from each one.
I have called the vet and am waiting for a response, but is a bloody nose normal from an otherwise healthy cat?
