Blood In Stool

[Stormy]

I have a cat that is an outside cat until he gets in a fight and gets hurt or it is just to cold out side to stay out side well it has been to cold for him to stay out side so he has been in the house I have noticed that he has blood in his stool.
Any suggestions on this matter?
Thank you

Hi Stormy and welcome :)

I would take him to the vet as soon as you could.. I'd hate to second guess blood in the stool. Good luck and I hope he gets better soon,

I would love to take him to the vet but I do not have the funds to do so at this time I am a single mom with two kids.
We love the cat & have had him since he was a baby he comes from a Faeroe cat ( I think that is how you spell it) that hung around the house (we live in the country). His mother got hit by a car we think he has been here every since he has never been to the vet so you can imagine what the first time visit will cost and I just can't swing that at this time. So any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
