My cat Boobie has had mucous-y blood in his poop since I adopted him 3 years ago. The vet can find nothing wrong with him and recommended a bland diet either made at home or bought from the office. He will not eat it, and I'd have to separate him from my other two kittehs to force him to.

So far I've tried:
Science Diet Indoor, Sensitive Stomach, Hairball, Optimal Health, Prescription
Blue Sensitive
Wellness chicken & rice
Kirkland chicken and rice
California Natural Herring and Sweet Potato

All have been dry food. He doesn't like wet food (go figure). All but the Sci Di Indoor gives him diarrhea along with the blood and that seems to be all the cats' favorite. He loves Greenies and gets them once in a while with the other cats...they seem to make no difference in the bloody poop situation.

He acts totally normal: playful, affectionate, normal weight, active, bright-eyed, thick glossy coat. He is an indoor cat with free access to his 'catiary' outside where there is grass available, but I've never seen him eat any.

The two other cats have no dietary issues. I am totally stumped. Any ideas?

I'd definitely check with another vet myself.

Now, here's one everyone has had before, I know. Big ol' fat boy is starting to pee in places he's not supposed to pee in. I can't put anything on the bathroom floor. He got the kitchen throw rug, and the latest was the floor end of a blanket. I've used bleach, lemon juice, lysol, febreze, baking soda, vinegar trying to take the mark away so he'll stop, all to no avail. He's a little bitchy lately because I'm feeding him just a little less, trying to get him to lose a llittle weight. He yells all the time, and I know he's mad at me, but the peeing has got to stop.

Any suggestions?

Adding an extra litter box really might help. Some cats like one for one type of business and another for the other type. I know there is a standard of how many litter boxes you should have per cat, but I can't remember where I read that or what it is.

Mistress, check him out for hemorroids, viral/bacterial gut, and gastritis. A good, holistic vet might be helpful.

Might need a bland boiled chicken/rice diet for a while.

Consider whether the following herbs (as an infusion) might assist his gut if gastritis is diagnosed: burdock root, mallow, slippery elm bark, comfrey root, fennel seed, Irish moss, and chamomile
