Hello there! I'm sorry to hear about your kitty's issues. Bloody urine, or hematuria, in cats can indicate several concerns that need attention, even if it's been improving over the last day.
In older cats, like your 13-year-old, bloody urine could be due to a urinary tract infection (UTI), bladder stones, or inflammation of the bladder known as feline idiopathic cystitis. It could also suggest more serious issues like a kidney problem or, less commonly, a tumor.
At home, make sure she has plenty of fresh water available to encourage her to drink more, which can help flush out her urinary system. Monitor her litter box habits closely—look for straining or frequent trips with only small amounts of urine, as these can indicate discomfort or blockage.
While it’s great that her condition seems to be improving, you should still watch for any signs of pain, lethargy, or a recurrence of blood in her urine, as well as any changes in her appetite or behavior. These could mean more serious underlying issues.
Given her age and the symptoms, it would be wise to have her checked by a vet to rule out any serious conditions. I recommend booking a video consult with one of our vets at Dial A Vet to discuss her symptoms in more detail. They can help determine whether an in-person visit is necessary. Take care!

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
