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.
How to tell if a dog is healthy?

How can I check whether a kitten is healthy?
Check its coat, eyes, ears, nose, and mouth for cleanliness, its energy and appetite, and its urine and stool. A healthy kitten is lively, alert, and has well-formed stools.
My cat normally runs around at night, but the last two nights she’s been lethargic and has a reduced appetite.
Lethargy and reduced appetite accompany many illnesses, so these two signs alone make diagnosis difficult. Check the cat carefully for other issues, and try pet probiotics and vitamin B complex if no other symptoms appear.
Is my almost 7-month-old cat pregnant? She is only 2 kg and thin with poor appetite.
Her thinness is likely from insufficient nutrition; low appetite is from diet or health. Try a different food; if appetite stays low, consider parasites or disease and see a vet.
My kitten was run over; it is listless with much less appetite
Being run over with low spirits and poor appetite suggests internal injury, possibly internal bleeding or fractures. Take it to a vet at once; delay risks life or lasting damage.
