Why is there blood in my PrettyLitter urine?

If you use a health monitoring litter and you suspect that your cat has bladder stones, you will likely see the litter change either dark green/blue or red. Blood in the urine is a common symptom of bladder stones because the irritation caused by the stones rubbing against the bladder wall can cause blood in the urine.
