Weight is a vital sign. Track it like one.
Gradual loss hides under fur; gradual gain hides in plain sight. Dated weigh-ins reveal both.
Simple rules
- Weigh on the same scale, same time of day, in a consistent unit.
- Record the date every time — a number without a date is trivia.
- Watch the trend, not the single reading; scales and feeding times add noise.
