Re: Milk!!


In all my 40 years of owning cats, I have only had one who could drink cows milk, he got it as a treat occasionally...the others would end up with upset tums....So started to buy milk especially for cats and have not had any trouble...

Re: Milk!!


I suppose that because, many moons ago, most cats, even domesticated ones were fed by their kills mostly, with kitchen scraps given as and when. Milk became a supplement as it was relatively cheap and seen as 'nutritious'.I don't suppose we ever saw the end product of this milk as cat litter was non existent, all cats did their business in other people's gardens and it got covered up. If cats fell sick, it was due to poisons/bad health.

Now cats are given increased status in society we afford them the same attention to their health and diet as people. Treated as family members we want what is best for them. I don't blame anyone for feeding cats what they can afford, or after due consideration of their pet's needs to offer alternate types of food; raw, kibble, wet etc.

Like our little human people we have to know what's best for them but are free to make choices, as long as it is safe.
