The more you use CatMD, the more it becomes your cat. Every check-in, photo, named person and body-language read sharpens the cat that lives in here — the one who writes a diary every night, sends postcards in their own voice, and replies when you chat. Plus vet-grade triage when something feels off. Built for cats only. By cat people.
Miso looks confidently relaxed and ready to play. Her tail is held upright with a soft curve at the tip, her whiskers fan forward, and she meets the camera with a slow blink — all signs of an open, settled state. The brief chirp reads as soliciting attention, not alarm.
The daily heartbeat. Mood, appetite, streaks — every check-in shapes the cat in here.
Body language, personality, named family. Builds the cat your cat actually is.
Talk to your cat. They reply in their own voice — first person, in their archetype, with everything they remember.
For when something feels off. Vet-grade scoring, symptoms, watch monitors, vet-ready PDF.
Every photo, every check-in, every body-language read, every named person in their world — sharpens the cat that lives in the app. After a few weeks the diary, postcards, daily card and chat all stop sounding like “an AI” and start sounding like the cat at home. You stop guessing what they're thinking.
Daily check-ins, photos, named family in those photos, body-language clips, things you tell your cat about themselves (“you love tuna”), triage scans when something feels off. Each one is a brushstroke.
Personality archetype locks in. The Becoming meter (face, voice, body, rhythm, family, nature, memory) tracks how shaped your cat is becoming. Memory builds — diary days, recurring people, self-facts, mood arc.
Diary, postcards, daily card, weekly readings, chat — every voice surface speaks as them, in their archetype's register, drawing on the memory you've built together. Not a generic cat voice. Your cat's.
The same animal who masks pain also masks intent, fear, and affection. Reading them — emotionally, behaviourally, medically — is the work of being a good cat parent. Generic pet apps miss it because they're built around dogs, who broadcast.
A cat in conflict, in pain, or genuinely happy gives signals on five different channels — tail, ears, whiskers, eyes, posture. Most owners read one or two and miss the rest. Body-language fluency takes years; we shorten it to six seconds.
— Bradshaw & Turner, The Domestic Cat: The Biology of its BehaviourCats don't limp in public, don't whimper, don't yelp. By the time CKD, hyperthyroidism, or dental disease shows visible signs, the disease is often advanced. Hiding + mild appetite drop is sometimes the only flag — and the windows that matter are narrow.
— Cornell Feline Health Center; AAFP/ISFM Senior Care GuidelinesFive research-validated personality traits. Nine recognisable archetypes. The same advice that fits a Confident-Sociable Bengal will quietly damage an Anxious-Sensitive rescue. Generic guidance averages cats — we don't.
— Litchfield et al., The Feline Five, PLoS One 2017Vertical territory. Multiple separated resources. Predictable rhythms. Quiet-hours discipline. Indoor cats need environmental design — the AAFP/ISFM 5 Pillars framework — to behave like cats. Most stressed-cat problems are pillar gaps, not personality flaws.
— AAFP/ISFM Feline Environmental Needs GuidelinesEach pillar runs on its own daily rhythm — together they make a complete picture of your cat. Open one tab; the rest are humming in the background, learning who they are.
Three taps: mood, appetite, litter. Builds a streak, catches drift before it becomes symptom, surfaces birthdays and rituals. The home-screen heartbeat of life with a cat.
6-second video → AI reads tail, ears, whiskers, eyes, posture, vocalisations. Tells you what your cat is most likely feeling — playful, hunting, soliciting, content, fearful. Body-language fluency in seconds.
First-person, in their archetype's register, drawing on the diary, the people you've named in their photos, and the things you've told them about themselves. They have opinions. They remember. Plus a vet-grade safety net when symptoms come up.
Symptom-checker, photo, gum-color, litter — fused into a single 0–99 assessment with vet-ready next steps. Plus weight, vaccinations, watch monitors (SRR for heart, FGS for pain).
Each pillar above is built from features designed specifically for cats — feline biology, feline behaviour, feline decision-trees — grounded in an extensive vet-curated knowledge corpus from research most owners have never heard of.
15-second home-screen card. Three taps on mood, appetite, litter. Catches subtle trend changes before they become symptoms.
Every night at 7pm, your cat “writes” a journal entry from their POV — warm, observant, snobbish. References recent days, named family in their photos, and the things you’ve told them about themselves. Shareable. Memorable. Yours forever.
4-second video. AI fuses the meow + body language + everything CatMD already knows about your cat into one screenshot-worthy line — in your cat’s actual voice, calibrated to their archetype and recent week. Lily says: “fine. you may sit on the floor near me. don’t talk.”
6-second video. AI reads body language, vocalisations, and motion blur to tell you what your cat is most likely feeling — playful, hunting, soliciting, annoyed, fearful, content.
Co-Star-style archetype mapping. After a week of check-ins + behaviour reads, AI reveals your cat’s personality from the Litchfield Feline Five framework — and the diary, postcards, and chat all start speaking in their archetype’s voice.
Tag who’s in your cat’s photos — Mom, Bella, the vet. Vision auto-recognises the same person across photos. Recurring names get woven into the diary as memories: “Bella was here again”, “haven’t seen Mom in three days”.
A live 7-facet score (face, voice, body, rhythm, family, nature, memory) showing how shaped your cat is in the app. The visible signal of the loop above — every action moves the needle, every needle-tick sharpens their voice.
A new theme rolls in every week — movie posters, famous paintings, historical figures, Studio Ghibli scenes, Pixar, 80s anime. Your cat reimagined into each one. “Lord of the Meows” one week, Cleocatra the next, Mona Lily the week after. The shareable side of life with your cat.
Your cat replies in their own voice — first person, in their personality archetype’s register. They remember the diary, the named people in their photos, and the things you’ve told them about themselves (“you love tuna” → they remember). Plus a vet-grade safety net when symptoms come up.
Multi-modal input. One scan takes a gum-colour photo, a litter clump, and typed notes — fused into a single 0–99 assessment with vet-ready next steps.
Validated 5-action-unit pain score from a single photo, based on the University of Montreal 2019 protocol — a clinical tool in your pocket.
Gold-standard HCM early warning. Tap per breath, 30-second timer, alert at >30 bpm. For every Maine Coon, Ragdoll, Sphynx, Persian.
Photo-based screening for urine blockage, polyuria, crystals, blood, and stool pattern — plus frequency trending that flags change before your vet does.
One-tap export: chronology, symptom timeline, red flags, differentials, sources, questions to ask. Your vet reads it in a minute.
When a scan comes back emergency-tier: one-tap dial to the nearest 24/7 ER vet, plus direct line to the ASPCA poison hotline.
The tier tells you what to do. The score tells you how sure we are. You decide.
Our knowledge base is built from peer-reviewed veterinary and feline- behaviour sources — rewritten into neutral factual summaries with citations, never verbatim scraping. Every AI answer can trace back to a source. We don’t train on Reddit anecdotes or forum threads.
The pet-AI space is full of apps that promise diagnosis. We don't, by design. We triage. We educate. We prep your vet visit. Your vet decides what's actually happening.
The first time your cat acts "off" for a day, you spend hours on Google convincing yourself it's nothing. Sometimes it isn't nothing. CatMD exists so no cat parent at 2 a.m. has to settle for a search bar and a forum thread from 2011.
Try every Pro feature free for 14 days. After that, choose a plan to keep your cat's voice.
Prices in USD. No card on file during the 14-day trial. No auto-charge surprises.
CatMD is not a replacement for a veterinarian, and every scan result says so. It's designed as structured triage — helping you decide whether the symptom is worth a 2 a.m. ER trip, a booking within 24–48 hours, or watchful monitoring. If your cat is in obvious distress, call a vet, not an app.
CatMD is species-locked to cats. Its knowledge base is curated from five peer-reviewed feline sources and the prompts enforce FDA/VCPR-compliant language. It shows its sources. It has safety guardrails that override uncertain scores on emergency keywords. General-purpose chatbots have none of that.
14-day free trial with full Pro access — unlimited scans, every feature unlocked, no card on file. After trial: Pro Annual $79.99/year (roughly $6.67/month) or Pro Monthly $9.99/month. Cancel anytime.
You can use CatMD fully anonymously — no account required. Scan history lives on your device unless you opt in to cloud sync. Photos you scan are sent to our AI processing partner (OpenAI) to produce the triage and are not retained on our servers after the scan. We don't sell your data. We don't train AI models on your cat. One tap in Settings deletes everything.
