Your Cat and Milk

broken image

You might assume that allowing your cat to drink a saucer of milk is not only fine but something all cats do. Your cat nursed her mother’s milk as a kitten but once weaned, she should get the proper vitamins and minerals from her food rather than supplementing her diet with milk or other dairy products. A lot of cats are lactose intolerant. Thus if you give your cat cow’s milk she may suffer digestive troubles such as diarrhea or stomach cramping. Your cat may be able to handle milk without a problem. And she might love it. However, your cat depends on you to feed her a balanced diet. Extras, including milk, throws off this balance so try to keep your cat’s diet free of milk and other dairy products. If you must share this treat with your cat, give her only small quantities.
