RE: Holiday Food/lactose intolerance

Cats are generally lactose-intolerant by the age of one. I've read it
starts developing as early as 6 months. Makes it tough for people gotten
used to giving their kittens milk as a treat. Fortunately thay make 'cat
milk' which is lactose free or you could always use the Lactaid milk
like I have to drink. Sugar doesn't like it though. But she does like
cream cheese. Go figure.
