Blood in urine, loss of appetite, only drinking water
A cat with blood in the urine that won't eat and only drinks water usually signals a serious health problem and needs immediate veterinary care. Blood in the urine can be caused by many issues such as a urinary tract infection, stones, kidney disease, liver disease, or food poisoning, and the specific cause should be confirmed through urinalysis, blood tests, imaging, and urethrography before targeted treatment is given. During treatment, nutritional support through a feeding tube or intravenous fluids may be needed to meet the cat's basic physiological needs.
There Is a Large Ulcerated Area, but My Cat Still Eats Normally with No Loss of Appetite
It is recommended to open your cat's mouth and check the oral mucosa.

My cat has heavy hair loss on chest, belly, and limbs with no dandruff or ringworm, and normal thyroid, CBC, and blood chemistry, with normal energy, appetite, and elimination
Hair loss on the body without skin-disease signs is usually endocrine-related alopecia. Cushing's, Addison's, hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, and diabetes can cause large or symmetric hair loss. The vet needs detailed blood tests and specific stimulation tests; do not run these blindly but when clinical signs point to them.
Why is there a red lump protruding from my male mixed-breed dog’s urethra, with weight loss and low appetite?
By visual inspection alone the protruding tissue cannot be identified—it may be penile inflammation, a genital tumor, or another growth. Take your dog to a veterinary clinic promptly for an examination so the right treatment can be given. Before the visit, clean the area with a genital-care solution or diluted antiseptic wash to prevent infection, and put an Elizabethan collar on your dog.

Dogs may refuse food for many reasons - unpalatable meals, physical discomfort, indigestion, illness, internal parasites, or being in heat. Identify the specific cause and respond accordingly.
