              Because humans can make educated decisions for themselves.

              Housecats lack that ability.

              ** arguably many humans seem to as well.

                They have better judgment than dogs. Many dogs die from biting poisonous cane toads, but cats almost never do, because they leave the toads alone.

                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.

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

      Some cats don’t have digestive issues with milk. That said, you’re right. Don’t gamble with giving your cat the shits over a treat. There are plenty of decent treats for cats that milk isn’e necessary.

    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.
