REPLIED

Nausea can do this as well as significant gingival disease, or oral ulcers from a virus or systemic infection.

I strongly recommend you take her into a vet. A 12 years old she is considered a senior and needs to be seen when changes occur in her behavior.

one of the cats has blood in the stool. There are 3 of them. Hard to know which one is doing it. Also there was loose stool. Just noticed this.

ACCEPTED

It probably is safe to assume that it may be from the same cat. This cat doesn't feel well...bloody stool can be from colitis, rectal staining, or other...

Again, this cat needs to see a vet. They can take a look at the feces when you go in to determine if this is the cat with fecal blood or not.
