Cat Peeing Blood but Acting Normal? Causes, Symptoms, and When to Worry

If your cat is peeing blood but acting normal, it can still be a sign of a serious health issue. Blood in cat urine, also called hematuria, may look red, brown, orange, or even appear normal while blood is still present. Watch or read more about blood in cat pee here:

In this video, we explain why cats pee blood, what symptoms to watch for, and when blood in cat urine becomes an emergency. You will learn the most common causes of cat peeing blood, including feline idiopathic cystitis (FIC), urinary tract infections, bladder stones, urinary crystals, kidney infections, and clotting disorders. We also cover warning signs like straining to pee, frequent urination, peeing outside the litter box, excessive licking, pale gums, weakness, or rapid breathing.

Some cats with blood in their urine may seem completely normal at first. That does not always mean the problem is mild. Certain urinary conditions can become life threatening if left untreated, especially if a cat cannot pass urine.

If you are unsure what is causing your cat’s symptoms, you can talk to a licensed veterinarian online through Vetster:
