Definitely take her to vet, but sometimes if it is just a tiny bit of blood,
it's scary but just like people they go so much they get a bit irritated....
Fecals are inexpensive at the vet and can show a host of problems, but also
relieve a lot of fears.

It may be important to know if your cat was kept near outdoor animals or in
an outdoor kennel. I think the vet told me once birds are the biggest
carrier of coccidia....

But, what was particularly worrying me was that she cries when she goes
to
the bathroom ... and this is strange cause usually it's the constipation
that is more painful and diarrhoea. But this morning I noticed there was
blood in the litter tray! A more solid poo and blood spot. Is this
normal?
Is this due to the change of diet? Is she having her period? (She hasn't
been spayed as yet - due in mid August). Please help, cause I'm
worried...

She needs to see a vet. Loose stools may be normal from a change of diet,
environment, but I don't think full-blown diarrhea is and certainly not
the
appearance of blood. Bloody poop scares the bejeezus out of me because we
have
lost *so many* shelter kittens to coccidia.
