Never heard of that. If it doesn't cause diarrhea, I think it is OK.

Thanks for the reply. I think the person who read that it causes
diabetes read it wrong, it was diarrhea! If I don't give my cat a little milk (just a dab) when eating my breakfast, he sits by my legs and keeps tapping me with that big "snowshoe foot"....thinking I forgot to give him something. Spoiled huh! :-) Gloria |

Spoiled huh! :-) Gloria My cat, Tigger, used to get the left over milk in the cereal bowl any time we had cereal. She also got to lick the ice cream bowl as long as she waited patiently and didn't bug anyone while they were eating. It never gave her any problem and she lived to be almost 19. That said there are cats who will get diarrhea from dairy products. If yours doesn't then I don't see anything wrong with giving him a treat. W |

My parent's have a MaineCoon and he has milk everyday and he is fine. My cat
before him also had milk everyday and she lived to be 21. Now, my two cats that I have at home throw up whenever they have milk. I think it really just depends on the cat.

Maine Coons are susceptible to diabetes because they tend to be big,
overweight cats. Just watch his waistline. Seems like many Maine Coon owners are proud to brag about the size of their cats but it's not healthy for them. I don't think a little milk will hurt if it doesn't cause digestive problems.

"barb" wrote in message ... From reading these posts, it almost seems like a little milk sometimes leads to longevity, kind of like a 90 year old having a glass of wine every night. It has given every cat I have ever had explosive diarrhea. And it should be stressed that cow's milk is NOT the thing to feed kittens, they need special milk from the vet if they are not weaned and are without their mother. |
