Happy New Year! We are starting off our monthly cat care series with looking at whether or not cats are lactose intolerant, if it is ok for cats to drink milk and what happens to cats when they do.
Are cats lactose intolerant?
Giving your cat milk may not be safe
When you see cats in cartoons or movies, they are often shown happily lapping up a bowl of milk. But is milk good for cats? The surprising truth is that most cats are actually lactose intolerant. This means that milk and other dairy products can cause digestive issues for your cat.

Earlier this year, Mack was left abandoned when his elderly owners moved into a care home. Tragically, their family chose to shut him out of the only home he had ever known, leaving him alone in the bitter cold. Day after day, Mack could be found sitting by the door, crying to be let back in. Thankfully, a neighbour noticed his plight and contacted us at Berkshire Cat Centre.
When he first arrived at Berkshire Cat Centre, Mack was in rough shape. The cold weather had taken its toll, leaving him with a painfully sore and cracked nose. He was underweight, and it soon became clear why. Mack had a large lump on his tongue, likely caused by an allergic reaction. This swollen, infected lump made eating a struggle for him. But with the right care, including a course of antibiotics and steroids, Mack began to heal.
This year, we have seen the rate of abandoned cats and kittens increase by over 30% as a charity. We have launched this appeal to share insight into the kind of difficult situations we are facing, and to raise funds to help us support more cats like the Biscuit Kittens. Your support will provide the food, warmth and expert care that cats who we help need, until we find them a loving new home.
You could help us be there for every cat's journey. Every donation is hugely appreciated and will help other cats like Mack in the Berkshire area. Head over to our Just Giving to read more:
