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.

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? |

How do I know when my cat is overheated? And what are some tips to keep her cool? |

| To ensure that you develop a strong relationship with your new kitten, make sure you spend time everyday petting and playing with your pet. The more you interact with her, the more you will strengthen the bond between the two of you. This is extremely important for the development of an emotionally secure and stable kitten. |
