Oh boy...
I'm VERY worried about my kittens right now.
As i was walking into the kitchen today i noticed a little red "blob" on the floor.
At first i thought it might be ketchup, but then i realized it looked too much like blood.
Its a little amount, and it has a bit of black in it.
Since its right near their litter box i checked inside to see if their stool was discolored/dark/runny.
None of it seemed to look any different than the regular mid-brown stool i see from them normally (not too light, not too dark).
this is what the blood looks like - (and for size comparison, thats a piee of a pine needle next to it, so you can see its not a lot...but the amount doesnt scared me as much as the fact that its their in the first place)

I cant tell if its been thrown up or defecated.
Besides that they seem perfectly healthy, they run around and play & chase each other, try to eat my foot when i wear socks & all the things kittens should be doing.
The only thing i did notice though, is that they started sneezing a bit when they got here (my friend said on the way here she had her windows down since one cat didnt like the ride and threw up a bit/pooped) and that they werent sneezing before. It isnt constant, once every hour to few hours. But my house is really dusty, so maybe thats the issue?
Also, one of them has a little bloody mark on his neck. I think he mightve gotten it while playing and got caught on a claw...but it hasent gone away since yesterday and it seems that he scratches it every now and then.
AND what should a kittne meow be like?
I forgot what its like to have kittens, so i'd just like to put my mind at ease.
Their meows seem to be a bit faint, but they ARE kittens, so it mgiht just be because theyre young?
I'm going to try to take them to a vet as soon as possible, but until then i just wanted to see if anyone might know what it might be...ugh.
I know i've only had them for two days but they mean the world to me. I'd hate for them to be ill
