Tiny spots of bleeding on cat stool

Hi, We recently bought a cat and on the 2nd day notice some blood in the stool. 1st day - Ate a little. Drink a tiny amount of water. No stool. 2nd/3rd day - Increase of eating food. Drinks water at regular intervals.  Blood spots on stool on the 2nd day. Pic attached. 3rd day very tiny bit of blood on stool. Not dark colour. Presently active than the 1st day he came to our house. But still prefers to find a spot and stay there most of the time. Very rarely the cat meows. What could be the reason? Previous owner said they never seen blood in the stool.   Thanks

Btw according to the previous owner cat is approx 1 year and 9 months old male cat.

Hello - so many possibilities, I'm afraid.  Perhaps the old owners weren't being honest, or perhaps they didn't see the faeces, or perhaps it's being brought on since the move or exaggerated by stress and - as nicely as it's done - moving house is big and stressful.   Do you have other cats that might be complicating social toileting? - not that that would fully explain red faeces in a healthy cat.  If blood looks red, the bloody faction is likely joining the GI tract after or at the latter part of the small intestine, because any higher up it would get partially digested in the gut.  Causes of red faeces can include a tumour or stress or fairly substantial worms.  Or a clotting problem eg in liver disease, or severe inflammatory GI disease.  The sluggishness could be lethargy eg cancer, liver disease, pain, pancreatitis, kidney disease etc or simply stress from moving house.   So there is much to go at.  It sounds as though your vet should examine their new patient and try to extract a history from the previous vet (consent would potentially be needed). They might decide to treat common, simple things first - ie worms, which might explain the signs - or go straight for tests, depending how the clinical exam looks.  Because there is lethargy, it may be an emergency I'm afraid - the vet will usually help you with triage (deciding the urgency).   I hope that something there helps.

Ps because I used the C word, I'd like to point out - this is nowhere near the top of the likelihood list in a cat of this age! - worms or even pancreatitis would be more common.  Please do let us know how you get on.
