Bleeding from the private area in a cat can indeed be concerning and may indicate several potential issues. Since Binky has been experiencing this for two days, it's important to consider a few possible causes.

One possibility is a urinary tract infection (UTI), which can cause bleeding and discomfort. You might notice symptoms such as frequent urination, straining to urinate, and excessive licking of the genital area.

Another serious condition to consider is pyometra, a uterine infection that can occur in unspayed female cats. This often presents with vaginal discharge that can be bloody or pus-like and can be life-threatening if not treated promptly.

Trauma or injury to the genital area could also be a cause of bleeding. Additionally, although less common, some cats may experience a small amount of bleeding during their heat cycle (estrus).

For home care, make sure Binky is comfortable and keep her genital area clean and dry. Avoid applying any medications or ointments without veterinary guidance. It's also important to monitor her for other symptoms such as lethargy, loss of appetite, or changes in behavior, as these could indicate a more serious condition.

Given the severity of the symptom, I strongly recommend seeking immediate veterinary care. Bleeding from the genital area can be a sign of a serious condition that requires prompt medical attention to diagnose and treat appropriately.

If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. Thank you.
