Did you know that your cat’s weight is one of the most important clues to her state of health? Weight loss or gain can be an early warning sign of illness.The Cat Weight Kit app offers an easy way to stay on top of any changes to your cat’s weight.
Visually assessing your cat’s weight, and annual or bi-annual weigh-ins at your cat’s wellness exam may not be enough to catch subtle changes, which is why I recommend weighing your cat once a month at home to prevent problems from going undetected until they’re in more advanced stages.
About the Cat Weight Kit
Developed by Dr. Kate McMahon, BVSc, MRCVS, a veterinarian from England, the app offers a complete toolkit to manage your cat’s weight. It lets you assess if your cat is underweight, overweight, or at an ideal weight using the Body Condition Scoring guide, which includes an ideal weight estimator. You can set goals and track weight using the Weight Tracker. You can also create meal plans and easily adjust calories based on weight trends using the Food Calculator.
The app can help you monitor and manage cats who need to lose or gain weight. For cats at a normal weight, it makes catching weight changes early. The app lets you track up to 10 cats.
My take on the Cat Weight Kit
The clean, simple design makes the app easy to navigate. You can use all the features of the app, or only the ones you need for your cat at any given time. It makes monitoring your cat’s weight simple and fun.
The Cat Weight Kit offers a free 14-day trial. After that, it’s only $9.99 per year. The app is available on iOS (App Store) and Android (Google Play).
This well developed and well thought out app addresses an important aspect of maintaining cats’ health, and it deserves our Seal of Approval.
FTC disclosure: I received full access to the app at no charge for the purpose of this review. Receiving the free access did not influence this review. All reviews on Purrs of Wisdom will always reflect my honest opinion, or, as the case may be, Allegra’s honest opinion.
I have to admit, I fail at weighing my cats lately. This is a good reminder to start doing it again.
