Hello

A question demonstrating rather a lot of ignorance - sorry - but in the case 
of neutered males in some animals, the various biological processes of 
coming into season still apply. This makes me wonder: does the same hold 
true for pet cats?

Background: our 3 year old spayed Tabby is acting quite frisky and has been 
doing so for the last couple of weeks since spring has arrived here in 
England. We notice two unusual (and possibly concerning) symptoms which have 
also appeared:

1) A small amount of blood has been seen coming from her rear end - possibly 
a symptom of constipation

2) She seems to produce small round droppings, without noticing, at random - 
whereas she normally goes to the toilet outside and digs a hole etc. etc. 
In this latter case she seems to deposit these small poos around the house 
without noticing. They are very dry - almost like the dry pellets she's fed 
on but as if several are compacted together.

We're off to the vets here in England on Friday but would like to gather 
some background thoughts beforehand./ thanks for any pointers, experiences 
etc.
