Yes I would take him in for a check up. There are many causes of bloody nasal discharge. Thankfully the more serious ones would be unusual in a young cat, but it is a good idea for a checkup just to make sure. For a young cat the more common issues would be a sinus problem, chronic upper respiratory infection or a nasal irritation from a foreign body. Has he/she had any discharge previously to the bloody one? and any redness to the eyes or discharge from the eyes? I hope all goes well at her check up
