My Fresh News Pet Gazette Wegmans brings you suggestions, tips, and information about animals from Katie Crane, Consumer Affairs. By Katie Crane, Consumer Affairs Cats Need To Drink Milk Cats love milk, but it may not love them. After the age of 12 weeks, most cats do not have the ability to digest the lactose in milk. It will upset their stomachs and cause diarrhea.
Fresh water is the best thing to quench their thirst.
Although most of the time a purring cat means a contented cat, studies have shown that they will also purr when they re injured, giving birth, or dying. According to the Humane Society of the United States, there are no documented cases of a cat killing a baby by sitting on the infant s face. Scratching is an important behavior for a cat. It stretches their muscles and is satisfying to them. It also marks their territory by leaving their scent behind from the scent glands in their feet.
