Cats will do it? Or you mean no other animal goes to get it? Because livestock will deffo grab a boob even if it's not mom's.
But it's not industrialized by other mammals would be absolutely true.
Cats will drink cow's milk, and then shit catastrophically everywhere within nine feet of the sand box except in the sand box. Kittens drink mama cat's milk, then when weaned no more milk ever.
Little snake eyed bean toed fluff cheeked lactose intolerating quadrupeds.
This is the most hilariously written PSA against the whole "cats and a saucer of milk" trope holy crap LOL.
I don't know where that nonsense started but it's definitely not beneficial to the
My cat loves mozzarella cheese. It's the one human food she begs for. She'll turn up amd wait around while I'm making chicken soup because she knows she'll get a morsel or two of boiled chicken, but she won't cry at me. She cries for mozzarella when I'm making a pizza.
If she gets her snout around any cheese I'll be washing the ceiling.
Mine also loves mozzarella! No matter how much I try to be quiet, any time I open a string cheese, he's there in 2 seconds.
Does it have the same effect on your cat as mine?
Nah, but the closest he ever comes to acting "excited" is when he's upset. For string cheese or kibble (his other favorite), he'll get close by, then just sit and stare. He might reach out with a paw if I ignore him, but he's kinda aloof. He's also very much a grazer, and not super food motivated. In fact, when he was an only kitty, I'd throw a treat, he'd chase it, catch it, then look up at me to throw the next instead of eating it. So, I'd throw a few, then pick them all up and throw them again and again, and eventually he'd start eating them. Once I adopted a second cat, he learned to eat them right away.
My other cat had digestive troubles for the first year, so I haven't given him any cheese, but he's way more food motivated and often yells at me while I'm taking too long to prepare his meals. If he ever catches on to the cheese thing, he'd probably have a similar response to your cat.
