# Vomit

## Filter by cat

Cats vomit now and then, but how often, and what comes up, can be a sign that something is wrong. The [Vomit](https://cat.gdc-world.net/vomit) page records every incident so you can tell the vet exactly what happened and when.

*[Image: The Vomit page with the cat cards and the list of incidents]*

At the top there is one card per cat, with its picture, plus an **All cats** card:

- **All cats** shows how many incidents there were in the last 30 days, and how many are recorded in total.
- Each cat's card shows its number of incidents in the last 30 days and the date of its last one, or **No incidents**.

To see only one cat's incidents, tap its card. The card is highlighted and the others are dimmed. Tap the same card again, or **All cats**, to see all incidents again.

Good to know:

- The filter is kept in the page address. It survives reloading the page and the Back button, and the **Vomiting incidents** tile on a [cat's profile](https://docs.gdc-world.net/cats-health/cats/#profile) opens this page already filtered to that cat.
- A cat that has [died](https://docs.gdc-world.net/cats-health/cats/#status) has no card. Its incidents are still in the list under **All cats**.
- While a cat is selected, **Log incident** starts with that cat already chosen.

The page needs at least one cat and at least one vomit colour. The colours are set up in **Settings** under **Vomit colours** (see [Settings: Vomit](https://docs.gdc-world.net/cats-health/settings/#vomit)).

## Log an incident

Enter an incident as soon as you find it, while you still remember the details.

*[Image: The Add incident dialog with date, time, cat, colour, the Food and Hair switches and the remark]*

1. Tap **Log incident** at the top right.
2. Check **Date** and **Time**. Both are filled in with now; change them if you found it later than it happened.
3. Choose the **Cat**. If a cat was selected in the filter, it is already chosen; otherwise the first cat is.
4. Choose the **Colour**. The list comes from your colours in Settings.
5. Switch on **Food** if there was food in it, and **Hair** if there was hair in it, for example a hairball.
6. Add a **Remark** if it helps: what it looked like, what happened before.
7. Tap **Save**.

You see **Incident saved**, and the incident appears in the list. Only living cats can be chosen.

**Log incident** only appears once there is at least one living cat and the colours are set up.

## The incidents

Below the cards, **Incidents** lists every incident, newest first. Each row shows the date, time, cat and colour, a **Food** or **Hair** label if you switched those on, and the remark underneath. When a cat is selected in the [filter](https://docs.gdc-world.net/cats-health/vomit/#filter), only its incidents are listed.

The list shows a dozen incidents at a time. Tap **Load more** at the end to see older ones.

To correct an incident:

1. Tap the pencil next to it.
2. In **Edit incident**, change the date, time, cat or findings.
3. Tap **Save**.

To delete an incident, tap the bin next to it (or the bin at the bottom left of **Edit incident**). The app asks **Delete this incident?** and shows the cat, date and colour. Tap **Delete** to confirm. This can't be undone.

If a colour is later deleted in Settings, older incidents with that colour show a dash instead.

To see patterns over the last weeks, open **Analytics** below **Vomit** in the menu (see [Vomit analytics](https://docs.gdc-world.net/cats-health/vomit-analytics/#timeline)).
