Why an adult cat can't have milk: kittens drink - and it's not a big deal

It is not surprising that kittens feed only on milk, since these creatures are mammals.

It is surprising that milk cannot be given to adult cats.

It turns out that with age, cats stop digesting this product.

Drinking milk can cause your adult cat to develop diarrhea – and even if you don't see any negative 'effects' on the floor or in the litter box, that doesn't mean your cat is feeling great inside.

Instead of giving Barsik and Murka fresh milk, try treating them with fermented milk products.

Kefir, fermented baked milk, yogurt and low-fat sour cream, unlike milk, are included in the list of permitted treats.

In addition, we suggest you refresh your memory and remember what else, besides milk, is prohibited in a cat’s diet.

So, it is not recommended to give cats pork, liver, bones and fish, as well as boiled potatoes, legumes, nuts, grapes and raisins and some vegetables: avocado, broccoli, tomatoes, onions and garlic.

Previously we talked about how to wean a cat off eating houseplants.
