Cats and Milk
I know I've posted about this before but just curious. I keep hearing that
milk is bad for cats, yet I grew up hearing about "cats and cream" (or milk). I know lots of people buy special "milk" for cats; goats milk and soy milk. When Persia first came to me I asked the vet about giving Persia milk. He said no problem, just not in large quantities. It's the one "treat" I can give her. I drink low-fat milk. When Persia sees the milk jug come out of the refrigerator she starts yowling until I pour a couple of tablespoonfuls in a bowl for her. She's never had any adverse reactions to milk. How about your cats? Jill |

I've never had problems with my adult cats drinking milk. Kittens tend
to get the "runs", but they seem to grow out of it. I give my cats eggy - milk which they love. It's they're second favourite treat after roo mince. Dewi |

I use to buy this for my critters when they were kittens. Dewi |

It's cute to watch and the cats are transfixed! They sniff noses through the cage - absolutely harmless, thank goodness! kili |

I've never had a cat that seemed all that interested anyway. But if I'm sharing quarters with a cat, I don't want to risk something that "might" give them the runs. Jo |

She's never had any adverse reactions to milk. How about your cats? Both mine *love* milk, but even though I buy skimmed milk for myself, it still gives KFC the squits. They love that "cat milk" that can be bought in little tiny bottles for a huge sum. However I have discovered that I can buy lactose free milk for humans at the big supermarket nearby. I can get a litre of it for pounds 1.25 (two dollars-ish ) Just two of those little special kitty bottles would cost nearly the same. It seems to be suiting them just fine. As my grandmother always used to say "I'm not so green as I am cabbage-looking!" I can smell a con a mile off. Tweed |
