My little girl cat just peed on the bed
not just pee but bright red blood, too. She's 14 years old and peed on the bed yesterday too - but I didn't see any red.

Plz to get v-e-t help. Kthx.
It's is probably the most horrible suffering I think I've ever gone through. You DESPERATELY need to pee but can't get it out, and it will come out all by itself randomly but not nearly enough to empty the bladder so that you feel relief.
As other's said, kitty MUST go to the vet right away not just because it may be more serious than a UTI but because it's the most miserable hell to endure.
A UTI can get to this horrible stage VERY quickly, and the few times I've dealt with it it always did - like in less than 24 hours from the time that I first felt something might not be right to peeing blood but practically no urine. Wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.
For me, antibiotics worked very quickly, and there's just nothing in the world as the relief of being able to empty your bladder.
This might be nothing more than a generally UTI, but it isn't something you'd want your kitty to suffer through and get worse where it can travel into her kidneys which will only make the vet bills a hell of a lot higher.
I've had to take my first dog to the ER vet many times for this and that, and it really sucks that because it's after hours whatever the problem is it's going to be more expensive. But it still must be done not just for the danger to the pet but because of the suffering that only gets worse by waiting.
I saw that you mentioned you were taking your kitty right to the ER vet. Good on ya. It has to be nipped in the bud whatever it is or you'd just end up spending more money while it got worse by waiting.
I hope it turns out to be just a UTI (which female dogs and cats are much more prone to than their male counterparts) and it can be quickly and rather cheaply cleared up with just a round of antibiotics.
I also get that it's scary... blood coming out of anywhere it's not supposed to is always a scary thing whether it's your pet or yourself.
Most of the time UTIs are easily cleared up if caught and treated quickly. If she also turns out to be diabetic don't worry - that's pretty manageable, too. I had a cat who was diagnosed with diabetes when he was about 11 years old. I gave him insulin shots every morning and evening, which he barely seemed to notice (the needles are very fine). He passed away at the age of 16 from unrelated causes but except for a nasty bout of pancreatitis that kept him at the vet's for a couple of weeks his health was quite good.

I lost some blood doing that a few times! I eventually somehow got very good at it, by being quick and brave enough to stick it all the way down. Good luck!
