Just in the past month I've possibly bought over 25 different cans of wet food, raw food, and treats for my cat when he stopped eating out of nowhere. He has since started eating again because he no longer has the separation anxiety that caused his little hunger strike. I have almost a dozen cans of wet food and two tubs of raw food just laying around. I've been using them as occasional snacks and whenever he runs out of kibble. I usually have to open up three cans at a time because he will simply refuse to eat certain ones, even if he is starving.
I've gone through so many varieties of wet food, raw food, and treats that I have forgotten all the ones that he hated, and the ones he's loved. It gave me an idea for a simple app app. The app would function like a food blacklist and whitelist, personalized by you for your cat(s). You would be able to have different folders for all of your cats, and a whitelist and blacklist for food.
Under the whitelist, you upload photos (or find photos through an in app search feature) of the snacks and food your cat will (you would be able to pin the ones your cat loves). For the blacklist, you would use the same photo gallery feature as the whitelist, only for foods your cat refuses to eat. Additionally, for both the whitelist and blacklist you can add notes for the listed foods. This would be helpful for documenting any side effects your cat experiences, such as changes in stool, changes in fur, changes in activity, etc....
In high school I had designed (UI was very poor unfortunately) an app that told dog owners what foods were safe and toxic to eat, and provided resources for toxin hotlines and veterinary hotlines. I think I'll be designing this blacklist/whitelist app for my own personal use (since I'm really bad at coding and it wouldn't make sense for such a poorly made app to be publicly available). That being said, if in the future an app like this could be made available, would anybody be interested in using it?
