My cat was adopted at four and when we introduced her to a kitten a few months later, she became very stressed. She didn’t have the blood marks but she did have several scabs across her body. All in places that you wouldn’t think her paws or mouth could reach. (Back of the neck, certain part of belly, head, and mid to base of spine). There were probably 4-5 total. She had fleas before but none of my cats go outside and the kitten was flea free. So we ruled out fleas. She didn’t seem to notice the little scabs but I could feel them. We didn’t notice any hair loss to a major level but perhaps a little. We just continued to monitor her and they eventually all went away. We brushed her everyday and made sure she was getting a good diet and water. I think they were stress induced some how. I’m no vet, or student of feline science, but I do know that cats are over sensitive to everything. My girl was a long hair cat as well, which makes her even more sensitive. Look to see if there’s anything that has stressed her out. Does she itch at them? Bite at them? If this is the case it might be some kind of bug or insect. If they don’t go away, or if you notice another pop up, I would bring back to the vet. Perhaps another vet too, to get cross information.
