Can cats consume lactose-free milk?
I heard that it's not good to give cats a saucer of milk. I then read
somewhere that the problem lies in the lactose content. So, can cats consume lactose-free milk without getting sick? |

But she doesn't get it daily. She gets a little drizzle (less than a tablespoonful) of it every couple of weeks as a treat. But every time I go near the refrigerator she's yelling at me to give her milk. She loves the stuff. It doesn't make her ill or give her diarrhea because I don't give it to her often. Certainly not as often as she demands it Jill |

I haven't tried ordinary milk on him ever, so I don't know if he can handle the lactose. He has no prblem with the lactose-free kind. -- Marina, Miranda and Caliban.

Certainly not as often as she demands it Jill I think the bad reaction depends on the cat. Herbie (RB) insisted on having an ounce or two of milk every day. He never got sick from it. He'd drink anything from skim milk to half and half. Skeeter (RB) hated milk, but because Herbie had some, she insisted on having some too. I'd give her about a teaspoon of it. You could almost see her shudder as she drank it. I swear if she had hands she'd have been holding her nose. But she drank every drop, so that Herbie couldn't get it. Joy |

Yes, it definitely depends on the cat. Persia only gets milk a couple of times a month. Just a drizzle. It doesn't adversely affect her. But she's constantly begging for it every time I go anywhere near the refrigerator. Fortunately she can't open *that* door Jill |

So, can cats consume lactose-free milk without getting sick? It's not true that ALL cats can't drink cows milk - some can, and some are allergic. Of the allergic ones, some just won't drink it, others like it but it causes digestive upsets. You can buy canned milk packaged especially for cats at PetSmart, PetCo, or many pet supply stores. |

Can cats consume lactose-free milk?
depends on the cat, one of mine had no problem with any milk until he got
kitty flu one year now no milk of any kind will stay down, some of mine can tolerate regular milk others can only tolerate kitty milk, you just have to see what yours can handle and give according to the most sensitive kitty, Lee -- Have a wonderful day "informer" wrote in message ...
