Have you checked all their ears fir tiny nicks? I know that head and ear wounds often bleed a lot so it’s possible that during play someone got nicked on the ear or something and the wound is so small that it’s hard to see.

I agree that you should check ears and mouths first. I had an elderly cat who has since passed who had a cancerous skin growth in her ear and when she shook her head there were droplets just like that. I am NOT saying that your cats have cancer, but places like the ear, if injured, can give off a lot of blood.

I know that this is a needle in a haystack with more than one cat, so relax and try to do the best you can with a systematic approach.

The chances are very small at those ages. It looks like spray to me, from a sneeze. They could have injured their nose, have a too dry sinus cavity, or a virus. Please listen and monitor for head shaking, coughing, or any more sneezing to see who is suffering from this. They also could have just got a scratch from playing. you might order some 'Nose Relief' on Amazon, it seems to work well for viruses, colds and allergies. It may be a one time thing, so monitor right now and keep that photo to show your vet.

No, I sincerely doubt that it is anything like cancer. My point was that those parts of the body can produce enough blood to cause alarm.
