NINE is a professional cat health management tool designed to help cat parents scientifically track and monitor their feline companions' well-being.

Important Disclaimer: NINE is a health record-keeping tool. It does not provide medical advice, diagnoses, or treatment plans. Always consult a licensed veterinarian for any health concerns about your cat.

1. Open NINE and tap "Sign In" or "Sign Up".
2. Supported login methods:
   • Email + Password registration

The Dashboard is your home screen and the first thing you see after logging in.

• Greeting Header: Displays a time-based greeting ("Good Morning / Afternoon / Evening") along with your cat's name.

    • ⚠️ "Vaccine in X days" — Upcoming reminder
    • 🔴 "Overdue" — Vaccine or deworming past due
    • 💔 "Weight Drop Warning (>5%)" — Sudden weight loss alert
