BoJack is so handsome, congrats on your new cat! Yes, bloody diarrhea can be a cause for concern, but because he is otherwise acting normally, it could be stress from moving into a new home. It could also be due to a diet change if you are feeding him a different food from what he got at the shelter. I would keep an eye on him, and if the bloody diarrhea continues over the next 24-48 hours, I would have him checked out by a vet. Best of luck, I hope this helps!
