It's hard to say what happened or what the cause of the bleeding is from. Is she eating and drinking? I would keep an eye on her and look her over very closely for wounds of any kinds. Clean up the blood so if there is more you can see where its coming from. If she doesn't seem right or you find something I would bring her to the vet to make sure she is ok and to get her feeling better.

She may have gotten bitten by another animal. The more she licks the more inflammed she will make it. I would take her to your vet she may need antibiotics and a collar to keep her from licking at it. Other animal bites can cause pretty bad infections so you don't want to wait too long to get her cheked out. She may have also just traumatized it herself. But either way the licking is going to make it worse.

I think that is probably unlikey she is too young and they only go after female cats that are in heat. I think you are ok on that part. It maybe a wound from another cat or another animal or she may have hurt herself trying to escape or climb something.
