Myth busting with Orchard House Vets 🔍

Myth: Cats Love Milk

Of course, all cats love a saucer of milk, right? Well, the truth is that they don’t need it. In fact, cow’s milk can often cause an upset stomach as many cats become lactose intolerant after weaning; they don’t produce the right enzymes required to digest it.

If they’ve always had cow’s milk then they may have kept the ability to digest it, but in general, it’s always better to give them lactose-free milk. They don’t need milk to survive though, past kittenhood, and just plain water is fine and better for their weight.
