They're all grown up—it's time to start treating, and feeding, them that way. Just because they're older, however, doesn't mean they're completely self-sufficient. Adult cats have nutritional needs particular to their life stage just as kittens and senior cats do, and they need your help to meet them. The CatChow.com Adult Care Center will clue you in on what you need to know.

 I was curious to know if a toxic spider - such as a black widow or any such kind - ever bit my cat, would my cat get sick and die, or just get really sick? If he did get bitten, would we be able to tell? Are there any positive signs he got bitten by a spider? |

| It’s hot in the summer, and my cat is an outdoor/indoor cat, and she loves this weather, but she disappears for hours at a time, or even for the entire day. Is there any way to check for dehydration? How often do cats need to drink to stay hydrated? Should dehydration be a big concern on a regular basis? |

| Is your cat wreaking havoc on your living room, leaping from the top of the book shelf and swinging from the drapes? You may be able to curb this behavior by providing an alternative. You can purchase or build cat perches of varying heights, ideally carpeted with built-in rope scratching posts. Most cats will preferentially climb these structures. |
