Who should always give cats milk
Cat cartoons often feature the animals lapping at a bowl of creamy milk, so you can be forgiven for thinking that milk is a key part of the feline diet. Unfortunately, the truth is that many cats are lactose intolerant, meaning that their bodies cannot process milk.
While a lactose-intolerant cat may still want to drink milk, doing so can lead to severe nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea episodes. When it comes to liquids, cats need fresh, cold water most of all. This is especially important in older age when cats are vulnerable to diminishing kidney function.
