A clearer view of change over time

Cat Weight Tracker

Record weigh-ins and see the mathematical trend in plain numbers. No “normal / abnormal” zones, no cat BMI — just the change, so you can talk it through with your vet.

  • Runs locally
  • No normal/abnormal zones
  • kg or lb
  • Not medically reviewed

Not medically reviewed

No veterinarian has reviewed or endorsed this tool. It only shows arithmetic change between measurements; it does not decide whether a weight or trend is healthy, normal or urgent.

PetsLately is a consumer record-keeping and educational tool, not a veterinary clinic, hospital, telemedicine, diagnostic, or emergency service. It does not provide veterinary medical advice, diagnosis, prognosis, treatment, prescriptions, or medication dosing. Using PetsLately does not create a veterinarian-client-patient relationship. Contact a licensed veterinarian for medical advice. If your cat may be in immediate danger, contact a veterinarian or emergency veterinary service now.

Restoring your draft…

Keep the records going — optional

The optional .catcare download is a plain-text file you can review and import in the PetsLately iPhone app. Use the PDF, CSV, printout, or copied text when you also want a human-readable copy.

What is a .catcare file?

A .catcare file holds the health details you entered here — in plain text. Compatible files exported by this website can be imported into the PetsLately iPhone app.

  • Stays on your device — nothing is uploaded.
  • Optional — every tool works fully without it.
  • Review the file in the app and choose what you want to import.

It is not a complete app backup. Keep a PDF, CSV, printout, or copied text when you also want a human-readable copy.

How to use this tracker

  1. Weigh your cat — the same scale at a similar time of day keeps readings comparable.
  2. Add the weigh-in — date, weight in kg or lb, and an optional method and note. Switching units never clears what you typed.
  3. Read the change, not a verdict — with two or more entries you get the baseline, latest, absolute and percentage change, ready to print, copy, or download for your vet.

Rules and limits

Math rules (version 1.0.0, effective 2026-07-17): lb → kg = lb × 0.45359237 · absolute change = latest kg − baseline kg · percentage change = change ÷ baseline kg × 100. Values are shown with 1 decimal in kg or lb.
  • Shows mathematical change only (absolute and percentage); it is not a medical judgment.
  • No "normal/abnormal" zones, no ideal-weight claim, and no cat BMI.
  • At least two valid measurements are required before any change is shown.
  • A change in scale or unit can add noise; the tool flags it, it never turns it into a medical alert.
