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.

Also, whenever I have to leave for a few days because of work, Gizmo goes on a "hunger strike" where he won't eat, which I know isn't good for him because of his age and because he doesn't weigh very much any way. Why would he do this?

When your cat urinates outside the box it can be due to a variety of conditions. She may be signaling to you that she is not feeling well. She could also be expressing unhappiness with the location of the litter box or the type of litter being used. Since this can be a very complex issue, see your veterinarian to discuss this problem.
