Try the toolWhat each tool is for
These utilities are deliberately small. Each one answers a single recurring question with numbers you supply yourself, so the result is a starting point for observation rather than an instruction. Nothing is stored or sent anywhere: the arithmetic runs in your browser and disappears when you close the tab.
| Tool | Question it answers | Best used when |
|---|---|---|
| Cat age calculator | How old is my cat in human-comparison terms, and which life stage are we in? | Planning senior care, or translating a vet’s notes |
| Feeding estimator | Roughly how much food does this body weight need per day? | Starting a measured feeding routine or a weight plan |
| Litter box planner | How many trays, what size, and where do they go? | Moving house, adding a cat, or fixing avoidance |
| Enrichment planner | Is the week balanced across play, climbing, scratching and rest? | Boredom, nighttime activity, or a new indoor-only cat |
| Cost planner | What does a realistic monthly budget look like? | Before adopting, or after a big vet bill |
| Symptom checklist | Which signs are same-day, which can wait 24 hours? | Something looks off and you are deciding how fast to move |
Read the result next to the cat, not instead of the cat. Body condition, energy and appetite change what a number means, so the first-time owner checklist and the glossary are worth having open in a second tab while you work through these.
