My cat was spayed by the humane society. Last night her urine had a little bit of blood in it. Could it be her period? Or could it be some kind of urinary problem? She was having trouble going potty yesterday, so it could just be from the strain. I'm worried about her, so please tell me if you know what the problem is. Thanks!
Answers:
First take her to the vet.
Anyway, cats that are spayed cannot get their periods because, first of all, they have heat cycles, not periods. And, they remove the uterus and ovaries.
It could be strain or a urinary tract infection, which is quite common in cats. Take her to the vet and make sure you are giving her good qualty cat food.
Wet:
Whiskas, Fancy Feast, are both good.
Dry:
Premium Edge (personal fav. it's been so good for my cat), Science Diet, and Purina are great.
Use both dry and wet!
Cheap stuff isn't good, it can cause the infection itself! Sometimes it's been known to shorten lifespan. : (
Antibiotics from the vet should get her all better!
have fun with her!
Good luck, hope this helps!
Always,

Take her to the vet. Your cat might be in pain, and she of course cant communicate that to you. The vet can help her.
Take her to the vet asap sounds like she has a UTI which can lead to more serious problems.
No I dont believe that she can still have a cycle. I would think that she has some kind of infection like a uninary track infection or a kidney infection. I would call a vet just to make sure.
Spayed cats do not "get their period." If there was blood in her urine you need to get her to a vet ASAP! From the sounds of things, she may have a urinary tract infection (common in cats), which needs to be treated. If treatment is started early, most cats fully recover, but if you wait too long (and sometimes a day is too long), the infection can develop into something much more serious (like kidney failure).
Check with the vet. It's not a heat cycle since she has no uterus anymore (cat have heat cycles, no periods - it is very different from humans) - more likely a urinary tract infection following surgery. Antibiotics would clear that up.
No. It might be a urinary tract infection, which is common in cats. Get her to the vet. Are you feeding her a good cat food or something like Alley Cat? Cheap cat foods can cause urinary problems in cats. It can end their lives way too early, too, because of ingredients that aren't good for cats. Stick with Purina or a good cat brand. Ask your vet.
Get her to the vet. This problem can most likely be fixed with a medication but if not treated can become very serious. Don't wait also because sometimes cats that have pain while going to the bathroom associate pain with the litterbox so some cats will then start using parts of your house as their litterbox.
As long as the procedure was done correctly, the cat will not have her period - not possible.
She could have something wrong inside that could be tested simply by a vet, so please call and make an appointment. He/She would know best.
female cats usually do not have period, there must be something wrong which vet can can tell, however blood always bad sign.
