Re: Never understood this
Yes, kittens have lactase in their systems, and can digest lactose. However, only in the quantities present in cat's milk. Bovine milk completely overloads their lactose digesting capability. Adding to the problems, the casein-to-whey ratio in cow’s milk is all wrong for baby cats. And besides, by the time you bring a kitten home, the mommy cat should already have weened the cute little thing, and it should be eating adult food.
What label is that? The milk in my kitchen came out of my Jersey about half an hour ago. It has not been mistreated in any way, shape or form, thank you very much. (My barn cats get a taste of fresh cow's milk occasionally, as a treat. I'm not a complete asshole, I just play one on TV.)
