"I've been told so often by "extreme experts" (usually of the female persuasion oddly) about how cats don't like milk and will only drink if if there's nothing else available."
Don't know for other pets, but you really can't draw any generalities with cats.
I have 3 as follows:
1 is crazy for anything with milk, yogourt etc ... The other 2 don't care.
1 drinks tea, mostly mint tea. Is also dangerously crazy for camphor when I put some camphor pommad on myself. Given camphor is also toxic for humans, I don't let him lick any of it ! Of course, the 2 other don't care.
1 doesn't care for anything but regular crockets and mice
And so on and so forth. You really can't generalize anything about those buggers !
