Acknowledgements

Thank you to Director Xie, Dr. Tao, Dr. Li, Dr. Liao, and the warm front-desk staff at Suzhou Ximeng Animal Hospital. Your professional and compassionate treatment and advice brought real comfort.

Thank you to several cat parents on Xiaohongshu, including Zhuzhu and Xiaoba's mom and Bixin's mom. I learned so much about care from your detailed records. Reading your updates every day felt like fighting alongside you. Wishing your cats good health.

Thank you to Coach Xu, also a cat parent, for pointing out that his cat with feline herpes also needed care records. That encouraged me to turn an app originally designed for Digger into a general record-keeping app.

Thank you, Digger, for coming into our lives and giving us countless moments of love and warmth over 14 years.
