Answer
Hi Sophia,

Okay, calm down, we'll figure this out.  Is this a male or female cat?  You mention bleeding from the penis but then you refer to the cat as a her, so I'm not sure which it is.  I'm assuming that whatever blood you're seeing is actually coming from the anus alone and just appears to be in the genital area, too.  Bleeding from the anus is much more common and can be caused by irritation in the intestine due to diarrhea or intestinal parasites.  Has the cat had a bowel movement lately?  Is it hard like a normal stool or is it soft like diarrhea?  If possible get a fresh stool sample to take to your vet when you see him.  Does it look like your cat has been injured?  Does she seem to be ill otherwise?  And most importantly how much blood is there?  Just a few drops or a massive amount? If she is bleeding profusely, and/or she seems lethargic and generally not to feel well you should take her to an emergency vet, otherwise keep her confined, perhaps in a bathroom, with a litter box, food and water until you can get her to the vet.
