Good thing I noted it. Calling the vet.
Month 3
- Monthly for healthy adults. Weigh kittens, seniors and cats with a concern every one to two weeks, because kittens and seniors can shift faster.
- Watch the percentage. A 5% loss over a month or two is worth mentioning to your vet, and ten percent or more deserves a conversation sooner.
- Be consistent. Use the same method and time of day, and write it by cat, so slow drift cannot hide behind an impression.
Record each weigh-in in the tracker's Notes column next to the cat's name, then download the Multi-Cat Household Health & Litter Tracker to see slow drift at a glance.
