HANDOFF

Leave town without
a 40-text briefing.

Invite a temporary household member. They see the same schedule, notes, and log you do — not a novel in iMessage.

Suitcase by the door. Three paragraphs of feeding lore in a chat. They will not reread it at 7pm.

A kitchen moment you know

Travel fails in the details: which cat gets wet, who is on a diet, what “already ate” meant yesterday.

Catter is not a dedicated expiring “sitter mode” product yet — be honest: today you invite a temporary household member. They join with a name, see status, and log meals like you do.

When you are back, remove them cleanly. History stays with the household. Better than a screenshot of a spreadsheet.

HOW IT FEELS

Small things that hold the day

Not a feature tour — just what households actually use.

Invite, do not lecture. One-time codes / join links. They pick a name; meals get an author.

Same board you use. Schedules, last meals, types — not a separate dumbed-down view.

Notes for quirks. Meds, odd habits, “she only eats from the blue bowl” live on the cat — not buried in chat.

QUIET RHYTHM

How it settles into ordinary days

Before trip

Invite + walk the board

Show fed/due, defaults, and one real log together.

While away

They log; you peek

Open Catter when you want truth — without ping-pong.

Home

Remove temporary member

Keep the cats. Keep the history. Rotate access if needed.

IF YOU ARE CURIOUS

Soft answers

Is there a sitter mode?

Not as a separate product yet. Invite a temporary member to the household log.

Can they change settings?

Treat access carefully; remove them when the trip ends.

Multiple helpers?

Add the people who actually feed. Names keep the trail clean.

Dedicated expiring sitter seats are roadmap. Ads and LPs must say temporary household member — never “sitter mode.”
