Tracking sounds like another chore.
Day 1

Coffee in hand. Quick look at everyone.
Day 2
🌙📝
Evening: jot down what I saw.
Day 7
📅😊
Ten minutes Sunday shows the trend!
Day 14
- Anchor it. Tie checks to coffee, lunch or bedtime so it takes minutes, and the whole check takes only a few minutes.
- Log only what you saw. Leave blanks or write not observed instead of guessing, because honest gaps are better than tidy guesses.
- Review weekly. Ten minutes once a week reveals trends daily notes miss, since a small habit beats an ambitious system you abandon.
The tracker has one row per cat per check, so you can download the Multi-Cat Household Health & Litter Tracker and keep the whole routine in a single sheet.
