I'm sorry to hear that your cat is experiencing these symptoms. Bloody diarrhea and vomiting can be quite concerning, especially in a senior cat. These symptoms might be due to various reasons, such as gastrointestinal infections, ingestion of something toxic, or potentially more serious conditions like kidney or liver issues.

It's crucial to take these symptoms seriously. Make sure your cat stays hydrated, as both vomiting and diarrhea can lead to dehydration. You can offer small amounts of water frequently, but try to avoid giving large amounts at once, as this might trigger more vomiting.

Given the potential seriousness of these symptoms, I strongly recommend seeking immediate veterinary care. A veterinarian can conduct the necessary tests to determine the underlying cause and provide the appropriate treatment to help your cat feel better.

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