My cat has a black center on its tongue and soft stool with a streak of bright red blood, though the stool color is otherwise normal
A black tongue center may be a birthmark, pigmentation, or blood stasis and is usually normal if no oral injury. Soft stool with blood points to digestive or intestinal disease from diet change, infection, tumors, or parasites; use probiotics and deworming, and see a vet if lethargy or chronic bleeding occurs.
