Good for you for taking kitty to the vet – that is often the best place to start.

I don’t have any information about the eye problem, so in your shoes, I would take the vet at his word that it is ok, and not worry about it – and I would also ask the vet what to watch out for in case a problem does develop. If you call the vet’s office, they will likely be quite happy to answer that over the phone.

About the bloody stool – that is a very dramatic symptom, isn’t it? I know I spent a lot of time, energy and money rushing my cat to the vet the first few times that I saw it. It turns out that the three most common reasons for frank blood (bright red, liquid) or mucousy blood in the stool, are also very treatable ones. First is parasites such as worms and microbes. From the sound of it, your vet has already looked for, and not found, parasites. It sometimes happens that no fragments of worms show up in a given fecal sample – so if this continues to be an issue, it would not be wrong to bring a sample in to the vet. now and then. In my experience, the lab work on that is pretty inexpensive, and the since the vet has already seen your kitty for the issue, you may not need to bring kitty back into the office (unless it happens several months from now, or you cannot give the vet an accurate weight in case kitty needs medication, and the dosage is determined by weight of the patient). Another reason for the bloody stool, is "garbage gut". This happens when an animal’s digestive tract gets roughed up by something particularly tough that it has eaten, such as really big, really crunchy bugs, or tough, fibrous plant matter. In that case, the best thing to do is to try to discourage access to those items, and be aware that if the intestinal walls get scratched up really badly, it is possible that infection could result, so you will want to be on the watch for changes in energy and activity levels, and appetite as well as other symptoms of infection. The third reason for the bloody stool is food allergies. This is what caused it for my cat. It turned out that my cat, Harvey, is allergic to corn and wheat. Now, those might not be what your kitty is allergic to, but it might be time to ask your vet about finding foods with less allergenic ingredients. Harvey does well eating foods like Wellness, Felidae, Eagle Pack, and Inova Evo.

Now, about the biting – boy, my answer is turning out to be a novel, isn’t it? I hope you are still with me, because I think I can help.

Never play with a cat or kitten with your bare hands. They will wrestle and mock-fight with their siblings, their mother, or any cat that becomes a buddy to them, it is part of how they gain strength and learn to protect themselves when they are out in the wild. The other cats have nice thick fur that offers protection from those sharp little claws and teeth – the kitten does not realize that it’s human friends do not have the same protection. There are plenty of interactive toys that you can use to play with the kitten – including some really wacky looking glove thingies that have extended fingers. I have also used an animal-shaped oven mitt to wrassle with my cats, plus there is always the perennial favorite game "mouse under the bed covers" (um… the risk to this one is that having the kitten associate the bed with playtime might encourage him to wake you up in the middle of the night to play more often than he would already, but I do it with my cats because it is so darn cute).

Sometimes a petting or brushing session suddenly turns into a biting session, or your kitten somehow gets his teeth into you in spite of your precautions while playing. When that happens, try to control your instincts to pull away immediately – that is what a prey animal would do, and it excites the feline more. Instead, you want to push in towards kitten’s mouth or body – gently, mind you. So if he’s got your finger in his teeth, you will calmly, gently push your finger further into his mouth. The same principle applies to getting out of the kitten’s grasp when the claws have sunk into your skin – push in towards kitty’s body rather than pulling away. The goal here is not to punish by sticking your finger down his throat or to hurt in any way, but to surprise the kitten with an action that will cause him to release you. Also, if you can, try to imitate a feline growl – it is one of the ways his mother would have used to correct his behavior when it was not acceptable to her. If you cannot (I know I can’t get it right) a firm, calm "No!" will do the trick. Then you back off for a time, and use the social pressure of ignoring the kitten for a while to give the kitten time to calm down and to realize how unacceptable his behavior was.

I know a squirt from a spray bottle can be a valuable training aid in some situations – like scratching at furniture – but I prefer not to use something that startling and unpleasant when one is in close contact with a cat, because it may escalate fear, which might escalate into aggression, and I prefer not to have my cats associate those feelings of heightened aggression with playing with me.

P.S. Harvey, my kitty with the bloody stool issue, it’s been a good nine years since we figured out what was causing his tummy trouble. He’s sitting here on my desk, purring up a storm. He still chases his tail like a kitten, and his coat is soooo soft and silky. He’s a very healthy, happy cat.

my cat is like tha
my cat sneezes and sniffles and eyes water alot
most likely there wil be problems

for us its just a maintenance thing for our cat each month going to the vet

we put it on medicine steriods to help clear it up but it works then 2 weeks later were back where we started

Cats often switch moods quickly. The biting is similar to teething in infants. Don’t encourage it. Don’t let him do it. I’ve found spraying a cat with a little bit of vinger water quickly clears up their habits. I’ve kept a bottle of it around for all my cats. Males tend to be more aggressive as they get older, something else not to encourage. My last kitten would do that too, more often when she was in heat because her hormones are higher, as your cat’s hormones are most likely. Have you had him neutered?
If there is blood in his stool, that’s never a good sign. However I’m not a vet and if your vet says he’s fine, he probably is. If you still feel wary of it, I’d get a second opinion. Sometimes things get over looked. Just keep an eye on your cat’s litterbox.
Some cats are proned to eye infections. Your vet would have prescribed something for the cat if it were an eye infection. Most likely you shouldn’t have any problems further down the road because of that. Yes sometimes it is a sign that there might be complications later but it is not always the case.

My kitten had some blood in her stool as well. Took her to the vet, was told she was fine and no parasites and she died the next day not trying to scare you but sometimes things happen for no reason, at least that they can find. They still can’t tell me what went wrong! So there may just be nothing you can do but wait and see. It could also be caused by a change of food or other small issues.

the older he gets usually, not always, the calmer. but i got to where i would give a pretty good yelp when mine got too carried away and it worked well. blood could be from colitis, which my cat has. scary, but i have stool sample checked occasionally. if just clear watery eye, could even be, yes, an allergy or something. my cat outgrew her allergy problems. keep on things cause cats really rock.
