Im not sure what might be wrong with your cat but it sounds serious enough to make a vet appointment.

Blood in the poop is a bad sign. If he is crying when you pick him up then he is obviously tender in those areas. He may have a blockage from eating string or something. You definately need to go to the vet.

I took my cat to the vet today and he told me that my cat needed to be nuetered, and he also gave me some antibiotics. My cat doesn't poop out blood any more i guess it was just that one time. Well I think Kitty's (my cats name) is getting better now. I'll have to wait a while before i know. But I will know soon.

Get him nuetered as soon as possible. The younger they are the better they seem to recover from surgery, and it prevents behavior problems like spraying from starting. Glad to hear kitty is doing better. One of my kitties had blood in her poop and I was scared. She has irritable bowel syndrome and gets fiber for it.
