Cat won’t eat, passed a lot of blood, listless all day. Looks like food poisoning.
A cat refusing food and passing dark-red bloody urine may be from: 1) poisoning causing red-cell rupture, hemolytic anemia, and kidney failure (onion, rat poison, poor-quality food); 2) urinary disease like cystitis or stones; 3) blood parasites or drugs. Any of these needs emergency hospital care.

A cat I’m fostering these few days was fine earlier but, frightened by fireworks, has sat still, not eating or vocalizing; just now I found blood, but it can still walk, eyes open (neutered male, about 3 years, ~14 lbs).
Blood at the urethra suggests bloody urine from stress-induced idiopathic cystitis, common in male cats; increase water and feed wet/prescription food in a calm environment. If unable to urinate, urgent catheterization is needed.
Recently vomited, did not finish the cat food, vomits white and yellow foam, blood in urine, and urinates more. What is wrong?
