    If only there was some kind of method for safely removing infectious diseases from milk.

          They love it because it very similar to their mother’s milk, but it lacks the nutrition they actually need.

          You can get milk made for cats that they usually like just as much

            It doesn’t matter, my cats are way more interested in the sour cream spoon laying in the sink instead

              Sour cream is low in lactose (relative to milk), so I think this is not a big deal.

              Lol my cat’s the same. If I have a glass of milk, she’ll find a way to lick the rim of the glass if I don’t stop her

                Things my cat will prefer over her own food:

                • meat of any kind;
                • potatoes;
                • soup;
                • wet sausage;
                • soft pastries, especially if they have butter in them;
                • sour cream, or any cream for that matter;
                • sauerkraut.

              Because humans can make educated decisions for themselves.

              Housecats lack that ability.

              ** arguably many humans seem to as well.

                They have better judgment than dogs. Many dogs die from biting poisonous cane toads, but cats almost never do, because they leave the toads alone.

        Did you mean to say “in favor of” instead of “against”? Cause your first sentence doesn’t match the rest of your paragraph.

    Milk isn’t good for cats. It’s hard on their digestive systems.

    This is still awful. If water killed my kitties, I’d be very upset.

    Health officials said in a statement that people who had direct contact with the cats are now being monitored for symptoms and have been offered Tamiflu or other antiviral medications.

    As if the people feeding their cats raw milk would take antivirals rather than megadosing vitamine C.

      Some cats don’t have digestive issues with milk. That said, you’re right. Don’t gamble with giving your cat the shits over a treat. There are plenty of decent treats for cats that milk isn’e necessary.
