My Cat Urinates Very Frequently Lately but Only a Few Drops Each Time; Today Almost Every Few Minutes, With Pink Blood; Drinks and Eats Little; a Larger Cat Was Adopted Half a Month Ago

Licking urine is self-cleaning; to stop it, reduce stress with a calm environment and exercise, clean up waste promptly, and check for urinary disease (frequent licking of the opening, with frequency or pain) and see a vet if abnormal.
My cat urinates frequently but the amount is tiny. What’s wrong?
A male cat may develop frequent/low-volume urination or even blockage from heat, stress, urethral infection, stones, or urinary tumors. Stress cystitis from frequent heat/stress causes frequent urination, dribbling, blood, plus genital licking that worsens infection or causes swelling/blockage. Crystals/stones constantly irritate the bladder; male cats have naturally narrow tracts, causing difficulty/pain or blockage. If still urinating, give more water, wet food, relieve stress. If low/blocked long-term, see a vet for catheterization to avoid bladder rupture/kidney damage.
What happens after a Pomeranian is spayed or neutered?

Why Has My Cat Suddenly Become Clingy?

My cat gave birth four days ago and can’t urinate, and there is blood at her vulva—what should I do?
Vaginal bleeding after birth is normal (lochia, lasting 1–2 weeks) as the uterus and vagina recover. But the main problem is postpartum inability to urinate, usually a urethral blockage from urinary disease or a postpartum complication. Take her to a hospital for scans of bladder, urethra, kidneys, and birth canal; long retention risks bladder expansion and organ damage, so don't wait.
