Can you help with my cat issue?
I just recently got a kitten. I have never owned one before, so I am unaware if this is abnormal or not. When my cat cleans herself, she leave little drops of red stuff all over the place. Help!

You need to be more specific about the 'little drops of red stuff.' Is it blood? How old is the kitten? People have been guessing good guesses. It could be fleas biting her. Is she injured? In heat? There will be blood then. Is her tongue cut?
But I have had and been around a lot of cats and that does not sound normal.

Is the "red stuff" blood? And if so where is it coming from? If it's coming from here vagina, then she's in heat. Cats and dogs bleed just like we do when we have a period. If it's not coming from that area, I would take her to a vet right away and get her looked at. If it is coming from that area, I would take her to the vet anyway and get hey spayed, cause the last thing you want is blood all over your furniture, and a litter of kittens. You'd be surprised how young kittens can get pregnant. When in doubt. Always ask a vet.

No, that's not normal. Does the kitten have fleas, maybe? You should get her to a vet for a checkup, testing, and to get started on her vaccinations. Mention the 'red stuff' to the vet and he/she can figure out what's going on.

Sweetie, your kitten needs a vet. Call one and ask the same question that you have asked here. Don;'t wait on this because it could be very serious.
