Which is why if the cat manages to die it would clearly be a suicide.

That is apparently true, but I don't see the relevance. And most cats I've seen love milk. I have a cat (19 years old, so certainly not a kitten) who will sit at the fridge and yell until you give her a cup of milk. My cats also love butter, ice cream, and one even likes chocolate. Just because something is common does not mean it is the rule. I'd also like to point out that lactose metabolism in adult humans (in all mammals actually) is a mutation. "Normally," animals stop producing the enzyme to digest dairy products as they mature out of adolescence. I say "normally" because the mutation is so common that it is considered "normal" for people to drink milk and lactose intolerance (ironically caused by non-mutated genes) is believed to be a special dietary restriction, like allergies. My point is: Normalcy is relative and often arbitrary.

Thank you, 28. It's not normal for humans OR animals to be able to digest lactose. The term lactose intolerance is incorrect.

I wouldn't say the term is incorrect. It just has a misleading connotation because most people don't understand how the body works. Or what having a mutation really means for that matter. I'm a redhead, have two-colored eyes, and drink milk every day. And I proudly refer to myself as a mutant for all of these reasons. Doesn't mean I have two heads or glow in the dark or use telekinesis (not that I would mind that one).

No offense 35, but you're probably one of the lamest X-men ever.

Before everyone debates exactly how much milk a cat can drink before it explodes or whatever it is they do, can I just point out that you can buy lactose-free cat milk at any supermarket? So it's not really an issue. (though, regarding regular milk, they don't digest it very well so they tend to get diarrhea if you give them too much but they are unlikely to be seriously ill)

Goats milk also works, in terms of milk cows is probably the worst for cats and babies, goats milk has a much lower lactose percentage. IMHO I think it's too expensive to feed them milk of any sort, they can just have water which is best for them.

Most adorable crime scene ever.

"What do we got here sergeant Mittens?" "Well, at first I thought it was an accidental death, but the spilled milk and lack of contusions indicates foul play. We might have a murder on our paws sheriff."

Definitely not better knocked out, THEN knocked up.
