Cats cannot drink pure milk. Pure milk contains a large amount of lactose. However, cats do not have the enzyme to digest lactose, which can easily lead to lactose intolerance in cats. The lactose in milk cannot be fermented in the intestines and cannot be digested by the body, and these indigestible lactose It will also cause the reproduction of bacteria, which will absorb water and cause diarrhea, resulting in symptoms such as soft stools and loose stools.

The harm of milk to cats:
1. For young cats, the fat, protein and lactose contents in milk are different from those in cat milk. Meet your cat’s nutritional needs.
2. For weaned cats, they are unable to digest the lactose in milk, which causes lactose to directly enter the cat’s large intestine, causing cat diarrhea. The fermentation of lactose in the large intestine will produce a large amount of gas, further causing bloating and diarrhea in cats.
3. The fat chain in milk is long and difficult for cats to absorb, and can easily lead to volumetric diarrhea, which is fatal to cats, especially young cats.
