Feline Daily Hydration Calculator

Dehydration accelerates chronic kidney disease (CKD) and creates urinary crystals (FLUTD). Calculate your cat's exact biological fluid requirement based on weight and diet moisture.

Cat's Body Weight

Average domestic cat: 3.5 – 5.5 kg (7.7 – 12.1 lb)

Primary Diet Moisture Cats on dry kibble obtain only ~10% moisture from food and require active fountain drinking.

Optimal Hydration Range

Your cat is meeting their daily biological fluid requirement. Adequate water protects kidney nephrons from toxin accumulation.

Tired of mental calculations?

NINE logs daily hydration in 1 tap, tracks sub-Q fluid prescriptions, and alerts you to silent 50% drops before FLUTD escalates.

WSAVA GLOBAL NUTRITION COMMITTEE STANDARD

WSAVA 1–9 Feline Body Condition Score (BCS)

Weight alone does not describe health—a cat can lose lean muscle while retaining fat. Use the official World Small Animal Veterinary Association 1–9 standard to evaluate frame and fat cover.

IDEAL FRAME

Score 5 / 9 · Ideal Weight & Proportion

Rib Palpation

Ribs easily palpable under a thin layer of subcutaneous fat. No pressure needed.

Abdominal Tuck (Side View)

Slight abdominal tuck clearly visible behind the ribcage when viewed from the profile.

Waistline (Top View)

Clear, hourglass waistline visible behind ribs when looking down from above.

VET INSIGHT

Watch for Sarcopenia (Muscle Wasting) in Senior Cats:

A cat can register a "heavy" BCS of 7 while experiencing severe muscle loss along the spine and temporal head hollows. Palpate the lumbar vertebrae; if bones feel sharp despite a pendulous belly, consult your vet for CKD or hyperthyroidism screening.

Document your cat's WSAVA frame over time

NINE records timestamped BCS logs paired with high-resolution photos so your veterinarian can review true body composition trends.

IDEXX REFERENCE STANDARDS · CONVENTIONAL & SI UNITS

Feline Bloodwork & Biochemistry Decoder

Physical lab printouts from IDEXX or local clinics are often confusing. Select a key biomarker, enter your cat's number, and view clinical reference thresholds with bidirectional unit conversions.

🟢 OPTIMAL REFERENCE RANGE

CREA · Serum Creatinine

Creatinine is the primary clinical biomarker used to assess kidney filtration. At this level, renal clearance is well-preserved.

What Your Vet Checks:

Evaluated alongside Urine Specific Gravity (USG) to confirm kidney concentrating ability.
Checked for gradual upward creep over 6-month curves, even within normal bounds.
Baseline indicator for IRIS (International Renal Interest Society) CKD staging.

AI REPORT SCANNER

Snap a photo of physical bloodwork to auto-extract

NINE PRO automatically scans IDEXX paper reports, graphs 6-month trends for CREA, BUN, and SDMA, and compiles them into a doctor-ready PDF.
