Re: Cat Milk


I used to give cat milk to mine a long while back, then the supermarket stopped carrying it (this was my pre-computer days so no way to order on line). As Patches wasn't lactose intolerant I just gave her condensed milk which she loved. Dandy had no particular interest in milk of either kind. Apparently it was very tasty, I think it might have had a bit of malt flavor as it was a very light tan. Carolyn gave it to her two also, who loved it.

Re: Cat Milk


It's a treat but may help your cat drink enough fluids if he or she is on dry food, or needs extra hydration. Water is better, though.

Re: Cat Milk


I've tried the cat milk in cartons - neither of mine like it. Pip sometimes likes a wee drop of ordinary milk but rarely and has no intolerance. Luckily both of them drink water, Pip probably more so.

Re: Cat Milk


Tiger is not fussed and I haven't tried Lester with it. I normally end up having to throw most of it away

Re: Cat Milk


Mmmmmm... Cloud quite likes the first half portion or so, but grows bored of it, so 2/3rds of a bottle have to go down the drain cause of the short use by period...
