I have a 3 year old cat who just today strained a bit to go poop that had a bit of blood (bright red) and mucus in it. She's indoor, hasn't changed food too recently. Acting normal, full of energy. She left a little, maybe pea sized spot of goo (not sure if mucus or mushy poop) with blood next to the litterbox. She's had problems with constipation in the past, but this time the stool looked mostly soft. The spot with blood seemed to have a good amount of hair in it too, some of which I think was mine (I have long hair, which often winds up on the floor, and I have a bad habit of twisting loose hairs into balls; looks like she may have eaten a little ball of it). Is this something I should worry about? I plan to take her to the vet tomorrow regardless, but I'm hoping a one off case like this isn't likely serious...and is it possible that eating human hair caused it? I couldn't find any info about such a thing online.
