Hi there! I understand your concern about your cat's coloring down there. In healthy cats, the penis generally has a pink or reddish-pink color due to the blood supply in the area. If your cat's penis appears purple, it could be a sign of poor circulation, bruising, or even swelling, which might indicate an underlying issue.
One possibility is a condition called penile thrombus, where a blood clot restricts blood flow, leading to that changed color. It could also be trauma-related if your cat accidentally injured himself, or it might be due to an allergic reaction or infection.
At home, ensure your cat is comfortable, avoid further injury by providing a safe space, and keep the litter box clean to prevent infections. Watch for signs like excessive licking, swelling, any discharge, or signs your cat is in pain or distress. These could indicate something more serious needing immediate attention.
If the color persists or you notice any of these warning signs, itβs best to consult with a vet. For peace of mind and a more in-depth analysis, I recommend booking a video consult with Dial A Vet, where we can take a closer look and guide you further on what steps to take next. 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
