Small mysteries of life

Whilst walking for the morning newspaper, I encountered a trail of blood splots on the sidewalk.  Serious blood splots, inch or so across, closely spaced, meandering for maybe 50-60 feet before ending (or seeming to end) at house steps.  No noticeable connection with the street -- seemed to start in a lawn.

If this had been a cat or dog, I would have expected to find a corpse at the end.  Saw two of our accustomed cats alive in the immediate area.  No mention of a knife-fight in the morning paper...
