Cat spotting, doesn't want to be alone

The squatting may be a sign they arent well. It is ALSO their common rest postion, so it depends on the circumstances.
Do you have a vet you can at least phone and ask? A vet will hopefully know what follow up question to give.
Anyways, its better to err on the side of playing it safe, than be sorry.
This spotting, is it fresh blood? Watery discharge just somewhat red coloured or what?
Does she seem to run a fever? You CAN measure in the armpit of the foreleg. The temp will be lower than in the behind. About 99 F instead of 102F, and 37C instead of almost 39C.
Hoping for the best, I think a check up by a good vet is the safest here.
