Risks
Most cats are lactose intolerant, which means they lack the enzyme needed to properly break down milk.
Consuming milk can lead to gastrointestinal upset, including vomiting, diarrhea, flatulence, and abdominal pain.
Additionally, cow's milk is high in fat, which can contribute to obesity in cats.
Suggestions
If your cat shows signs of vomiting, diarrhea, or gas after consuming milk, they are likely lactose intolerant.
Avoid giving milk to your cat and consider providing lactose-free alternatives specifically designed for cats if you want to give them a milk-like treat.
Note: even if labeled as safe, any food can potentially cause allergies. When introducing a new food, please feed a small amount and observe your cat for any allergic reactions.
