Why HCM is hard to monitor at home
HCM can be quiet for a long time, then changes appear gradually, so subtle shifts in breathing or energy are easy to miss without records.
Resting breathing rate is one of the things owners are often asked to track, but counts jotted on scraps of paper are easy to lose.
Heart cats may take more than one medication, and keeping doses and times straight day after day is a real challenge.

- If resting breaths rise notably, or your cat seems to labor to breathe, contact your vet promptly rather than waiting.
- Can I track multiple heart medications?
- Yes, you can log several medications with separate dose times and reminders.
- Does the app support more than one cat?
- Yes, each pet gets its own private profile and log on your device.
- Is this app a substitute for veterinary care?
