Can a domestic cat have hemorrhoids?
I wokd up one morning and my kitten had these long hemmorrhoid-like things hanging out of her anus. She was apparently in pain and was attempting to get them off as she slid her butt across the carpet. My other cat (a male) just sat there watching her. I wonder if he caused this to happen to her by attempting to mate and if they are hemorrhoids?
She was very ill after this. The things were gone like the next day…don’t know how.
I mean I WOKE up…not wokd.

You should bring her to the vet. THIS IS SERIOUS. If you love your cat, bring her to the vet NOW.
"Anytime there is noticeable blood coming from the rectum, it indicates that there is a situation that requires medical attention. From the observation you have described your cat may have a rectal polyp, tumor, prolapsed rectum, or even a hernia (although rare) that could appear to look like a hemorrhoid. Cats do not actually get hemorrhoids. This could also be caused by straining due to constipation, spotting of blood caused by having. (IBD) irritable bowel disease, infected anal sacs or it could be a fissure caused by eliminating something sharp."

Great post with some useful ideas! I can’t say that I totally agree with everything you have said here, but there are a few important recommendations you have emphasized that can be quite usable on natural health and related topics. Please continue providing more information on this topic and associated topics, as there are many out there like me who are working to get to know the ups and downs.
