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

[–] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 113 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Honestly milk is just bad for cats in general.

[–] ryannathans@aussie.zone 64 points 2 days ago

At least they wouldn't be dead

[–] Nonononoki@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Lactose free milk is okay for cats

I love plenty of things that are bad for me.

[–] Aphelion@lemm.ee 10 points 2 days ago

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

[–] NotSteve_@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] BakerBagel@midwest.social 11 points 2 days ago (2 children)

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

[–] NotSteve_@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] Justas@sh.itjust.works 1 points 12 hours ago

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.
[–] Eatspancakes84@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

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

I've got a friend Louie that's been working on something...

[–] lnxtx@feddit.nl 6 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Two shots of vodka will be enough?

[–] massive_bereavement@fedia.io 5 points 2 days ago

Do you mean remeowing it?

[–] ramsorge 71 points 2 days ago

Stop giving your cat milk!!!! Ffs, they shouldn’t be drinking milk anyway.

Some people are morons.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 77 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Someone tell RFK, Jr.! He'll drive the family over so they can watch him skin them and preserve the skulls!

[–] expatriado@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

instructions unclear, cat found on Griffith Park

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

No, it's fine to take its skull away first. It's not like it's a bear.

[–] atzanteol@sh.itjust.works 45 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] kautau@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Vitamins? Even that's not homeopathic enough. They'll probably find this trash AI article and trust it to be true https://www.lybrate.com/topic/homeopathic-and-natural-remedies-for-lactose-intolerance/007d52bee0db5ad3dd7b085b5acca3b0

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 34 points 2 days ago

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.

[–] MTK@lemmy.world 22 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I hope they mean the musical performers

[–] hakunawazo@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (2 children)

At least some edits of that abomination of a musical are funny (and nsfw).

I want those owners charged for being this fucking idiotic.

[–] ElcaineVolta@kbin.melroy.org 2 points 2 days ago (2 children)

well, the cows will definitely die

[–] Iamsqueegee@sh.itjust.works 15 points 2 days ago

You pasteurize after milking!

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 6 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Cows don't drink raw cat milk.

They can also jump over the moon, they just know not to.
