It can mean multiple things. It can simply mean it has gobbled it's food down too fast, it was shaken around after eating, or it ate something that upsets it's tummy. However, if vomiting is constant, or lasts more than 24 hours, see your vet immediately.

You need to take your cat to the vet immediately. Blood in urine usually means Cystitis (inflammation of the bladder), or some other bladder problem. This condition, much like human bladder infections, is very painful for the cat and in some cases (such as a blockage) can be life-threatening if not treated.

Cats usually develop urinary problems from stress or not drinking enough water and the urine becomes too concentrated. This can occur if the cat is fed only dry food (a cat has evolved to get moisture from its food and so have a low "thirst drive") or overly stressed.

The most important treatment, aside from vet-prescribed pain killers (and antibiotics if an infection is present), is to increase your cat's water intake. Feeding wet food instead of dry, adding a little extra water to the wet food and/or providing a water fountain to entice the cat to drink more water are very good options. Even adding "flavoured water" such as juice from canned fish to food or water will help entice a cat to drink.

If your cat is male, it is especially vital to make sure he is thoroughly hydrated. Male cats are much more susceptible to urinary tract infections (UTI's).

The cat likely has a serious medical condition, and needs to be taken to a vet immediately.

Very true! Today this happened to me. My cat was vomiting blood. I found a half dead bee in my bedroom next to the balcony where my cat had been.

Veternarian found that he had been stung and removed the bee stinger from his tongue. He was administered steroids and an antihistamine shot plus fluids because he had become dehydrated.

I have no idea, but you should probably go check it out with your local vet. The cat may have some sort of bad stomach virus. Either that, or you've been feeding it expired food. OR, you've been giving it milk. Both cats and dogs have problems with dairy products.

possibly from straining. Or from a more serious condition. My advice, bring him to the vet. The pet could be experiencing pain and/or a condition you are not aware of.

The wasp will travel down your cat's trachea- it's spindly legs and stinger will tattoo the tissue on it's way down, making it its own. So yes, as it enters your feline's stomach, it is highly likely that it will regurgitate blood.
