Pettify for cat owners
Cats hide a lot, so the small routines matter: a clean litter box, several small meals, play every day, brushing that suits the coat. Pettify builds a care plan from your cat’s breed, age and time outdoors, and keeps the diary that shows you when something changes.

What cat owners keep track of
From the rules behind Pettify’s care plan for cats, each with its source. They are the defaults: you can change how often and when, or switch a task off.
A clean litter box
Scoop daily, change the litter weekly
The AAHA and AAFP feline guidelines recommend one litter box for each cat plus one more, scooped every day. The plan adds a daily scoop and a weekly change of litter; with clumping litter scooped daily, a full change can come less often.
Small meals, several times a day
3 meals a day, 4 for a kitten
The AAFP feeding consensus favours frequent small meals and puzzle feeders, which suit how cats naturally eat. The plan suggests three meals a day for an adult cat and four for a kitten.
Play, twice a day
2 sessions of 15 minutes
Play is how indoor cats hunt: it burns energy, keeps muscles strong and prevents boredom. The plan sets two 15-minute sessions a day, three for very active breeds. The minutes are a guide; stop when your cat loses interest.

Brushing that matches the coat
Weekly to daily
Following Hill’s breed profiles, a short coat gets brushed once a week, a semi-long coat three times a week and a long coat every day. For cats that shed with the seasons, the plan asks for daily brushing in spring and autumn.
Claws and teeth
Claws every 2–3 weeks, teeth daily
An indoor cat gets a nail trim every two weeks. Outdoor cats need their claws to climb and defend themselves, so the plan only checks them every three weeks and trims the overgrown tips. From six months, it adds daily tooth brushing, the only kind AAHA’s dental guidelines say makes a real difference.

How Pettify helps
A plan for your cat’s life
Pick one of 50 cat breed profiles, mixed breeds included, then answer a few questions about coat, neutering and time outdoors. The plan updates as you answer, and every task explains why it matters and where the advice comes from.
What happens in the litter box
The pee and poop log works for cats too. Tap Pee or Poop in your cat’s profile, or ask Siri. Add the place and warning signs such as straining or blood in urine when they matter. The log shows counts per day and a chart, and your family gets a push only for an entry with a warning sign.
Vaccines and vet visits at a glance
The pet list shows what’s next for your cat, such as a vaccination due within a month, and marks overdue ones in red. Each vet visit keeps the medicines prescribed at it, and the PDF report puts them together for a new vet or a cattery.
Questions about your cat, not cats in general
Ask the assistant about food, behaviour or a symptom right from your cat’s profile, and attach a photo if it helps. Answers take the breed, age and weight into account. It gives guidance, not a diagnosis.
What Pettify doesn’t do
Better to know before you download:
It doesn’t diagnose
The log’s hints and the assistant’s answers don’t replace a veterinary examination. If something in the litter box worries you, call your vet.
No smart litter boxes or feeders
Pettify doesn’t connect to smart litter boxes, feeders or trackers. You log entries yourself, with a tap or with Siri.
Not connected to your vet clinic
Records don’t arrive from the clinic on their own. You add vaccinations and visits yourself, or attach the papers you get.
Apple devices only
iPhone, iPad, Macs with Apple silicon and Apple Vision Pro. There is no Android app and no web version.
Free printables for cat owners
For the first days with a kitten, the vaccination booklet and your cat’s age in human years.
Questions from cat owners
Does Pettify suit an indoor cat?
Yes. Tell the plan your cat lives indoors and the tasks follow: nail trims every two weeks, for example, instead of checking an outdoor cat’s claws every three weeks. Indoor cats can still get parasites, so agree the right protection with your vet.
How do I keep track of litter box habits?
Use the pee and poop log in your cat’s profile. Each entry can hold the place (the litter box or somewhere else), the stool consistency and warning signs. The 7, 30 or 90-day summary shows counts per day, so a change is easy to see and to show your vet.
Which cat breeds does Pettify know?
It has 50 cat breed profiles, mixed breeds included. Breed names and coat colours appear in your language, the way national cat clubs write them.
Can I keep records for more than one cat?
Yes. Each cat has its own profile, care plan and log, and the pet list shows the next thing due for each of them.
Can a cat sitter see the routine?
Yes. Invite them by email or QR code and choose whether they can edit or only view. They see the same care plan you do. You can also share the PDF report straight from the app.
Is Pettify free?
The download is free, the app is not. Pettify runs on a Pettify Premium subscription: $4.99 a month, or $49.99 a year with a 7-day free trial first. There is no free tier. You can cancel anytime in your App Store settings. Prices are for the US App Store and may differ in your country.
