This morning, after letting my cat spend some time in the backyard, I noticed she started peeing blood and even vomited a couple of times. It's got me really concerned, as this is the first time she's shown any symptoms like this. Could this be related to something she might have encountered outside, and should I get her to a vet immediately?
