Being a cat lover myself, I have read a lot of books about them, and spoken
to many vets.  According to these sources, cats should not be given cow's
milk.  Most adullt cats are lactose intolerant.  Also, cow's milk ingestion
by cats can lead to kidney stones.

I have an excellent article about the dairy and it's unsuitability for human
consumption.  Anyone who wants it, just e-mail me your snail mail address and
I'll send you a copy.
