Answer
Hi Andy.  You really need to have your kitty to the vet.  He or she should see the doctor at least twice a year at this age, whether he appears healthy or not.

Blood in the stool could be caused by constipation or diarrhea, parasites like hookworms, which are extremely dangerous, gastrointestinal lymphoma, colitis and dietary intolerances, among others.  Since each needs to be treated in a different way, a vet needs to diagnose the problem and prescribe a treatment.

So schedule a vet visit.  And try to get a fresh stool sample for testing.  You should store it in the fridge until your visit.
