You need to take your cat to the vet immediately. Blood in urine usually means Cystitis (inflammation of the bladder), or some other bladder problem. This condition, much like human bladder infections, is very painful for the cat and in some cases (such as a blockage) can be life-threatening if not treated.

Cats usually develop urinary problems from stress or not drinking enough water and the urine becomes too concentrated. This can occur if the cat is fed only dry food (a cat has evolved to get moisture from its food and so have a low "thirst drive") or overly stressed.

The most important treatment, aside from vet-prescribed pain killers (and antibiotics if an infection is present), is to increase your cat's water intake. Feeding wet food instead of dry, adding a little extra water to the wet food and/or providing a water fountain to entice the cat to drink more water are very good options. Even adding "flavoured water" such as juice from canned fish to food or water will help entice a cat to drink.

If your cat is male, it is especially vital to make sure he is thoroughly hydrated. Male cats are much more susceptible to urinary tract infections (UTI's).

You are a male who was struck on your right side above your pelvis The first day you were urinating blood and the next couple days I've been urinating chunks of dried blood causing pain why is this?

Your kidney was bruised. The dried blood is better than fresh, that indicates the damage is closed off. Pain at the point of impact or from urinating? If just from urinating, it is just the passage of the clots. I would expect that to stop fairly quickly. If it goes past a week, see a doctor.
