You really should bring your cat to a vet ASAP. Blood in its stools is a very bad sign. Your cat is only suffering now, without medical care.

Some reasons could be kidney failure, stones, obstruction in the digestive system etc ( I am guessing based on dogs though, but it should apply to cats too)

how old are they? have they been dewormed? worms can cause bloody stools too.. but as chins suggests pls go to the vet asap. even tho we might be able to guess what is wrong.. we still cannot cure the cats! fyi once back from vet to harden up the stool.. revert to a diet of boiled and deboned chicken only at all mealtimes. halt the dry food until the poo is back to normal.

Which vet did you visit? Maybe you should visit a more experienced vet for a second opinion?
To hearkiel: Who are the more experienced cat vets?
Personally, i normally bring my pets to Namly animal clinic. The consultation there is $28.

I'm not so sure about this, other than that I am not sure it helps since I post this reply long after the last post. Just want to share my experience. It could be gastritis. Clear tools with blood is a symptoms of middle stage, I suppose.
I don't know how to describe it, but if you had had a chance to know a person got really ill for gastritis - you'll recognize the same problem in cats. The main symptom is the spesific smell of the tools.
Bacteria cause irritation to the digestion system, there comes blood which in turn makes everything even worse. Blood is an excellent media for bacteria to develop.
If this is the case I believe that Metronidazole should do it. Metronidazole is very safe, acts as "antibiotics". I once used it for my newly bought 3 mos old kitten.

regards,
yukie

god.. ok try animal clinic sunset way, namly clinic, and when all is lost try animal recovery centre. they are expensive but good. do not self medicate unless its a simple case of deworming.
chins: sg no good cat vets i'm afraid. really. very sad. \
i've experienced that a few times.. : come back after a few days of this antibiotic.. and we'll see if she's ok...
i cant find anything wrong. ask for a blood test the next time round. insist on it. giardia bacteria cannot be detected in the stool samples. read up about cat health because i tell u.. u have more chance of diagnosing it from home than at the vets--- just means u go to the vet n tell her wat tests to run. in any case even if the blood test shows nothing at least u know tt she is ok.
