So my kitty is almost 6 months old. She's a great cat.
We have this teddy bear that she loves to wrestle with, it's white and lately I've noticed a lot of blood on it. I assume it's cuz she is really rough with it and her gums are getting a lil mangled. I haven't noticed any difference in her eating habits or any discomfort.

Should I be concerned?
Thanks.

As long as her gums look normal I wouldn't worry. They should be slightly pink.

When my cat was loosing his baby teeth there was blood on his stuffed animal. I even found one of his baby teeth stuck in the ribbon on the toy. I'm fairly sure its normal. His new teeth have grown in fine and look healthy to me.

He may have really sensitive teeth. I know when I brush mine a little too hard they bleed a bit.

Sorry for not answering earlier. I wouldn't worry about it unless it is a lot of blood. Check her teeth and see how they look, if they look fairly normal just keep an eye on her.

The bear isn't soaked or anything
I guess cuz it's a white bear, it looks bad. It's just a few smudges here and there.

I bet you just notice it b/c the bear is white. My kitten had a blue snoopy dog so it would have to have a lot of blood for it to be obvious.
