Hi! Saw your tags wondering why milk was on the 'no good' list of foods for a cat to eat. Honestly the truth is that most cats are lactose intolerant. They don’t have the enzymes needed to digest the lactose in milk. When cats drink cow’s milk, they can end up with painful stomach cramps and diarrhea. Most mammals become lactose intolerant as they grow older. It's why babies drink milk but are weaned off as they get older and must eat other foods to be healthy.
Oh yes! That totally makes sense! I was aware of the cessation of production of rennin in humans but did not know that it applied to other mammals too.
It’s appalling to learn that milk is normalised as a “cat food” and I’ve seen people feed their cats milk on a regular basis.
