The meal and vomit log

Short answer"She throws up sometimes" is a shrug; "three times in two weeks, always mornings, always after the new treats" is information your vet can actually use. This log makes the second version in ten seconds per event: pick the type, add a short note if you want, and it's saved on this device. You never need to fill up weeks of entries before acting - if your cat seems unwell, call the vet now and take whatever you have logged so far. Print it before the visit. Nothing leaves your device; there is no account and no upload.

How to use it

Log what matters, when it happens: meals when the diet changes (note the food), vomit or regurgitation events (note what it looked like - the clues guide shows why it matters), hairballs, and notable stools. You are not writing a novel - "vomit, bile, 7am, before breakfast" is plenty. Even a handful of honest entries gives your vet far more to work with than a fuzzy memory, and the summary below the list counts the last 14 days so any trend is visible at a glance.

When the log tells you to call

Two different clocks apply here. Urgent: any of the red-flag signs - repeated vomiting in a single day, blood, a hard or painful belly, unproductive retching, or a cat that stops eating - means contact a vet immediately, today, and don't wait to add more entries first. Routine: vomiting more often than about once a week, or a slow downward trend in weight or appetite, is worth a regular appointment - and the entries you already have make that visit far more useful.
