What Attracts Cats To Dairy Products?



Cats are carnivore animals. These species enjoy munching on some meat and therefore love proteins and fats. The bodies of these furry felines are designed to digest these food items as their natural diet.


In this line, cats are lactose intolerant like some people. In cats, lactose intolerance means that when kittens are done feeding from their mother cat’s breasts, they cannot take in milk anymore. Why? Their bodies cannot break down the lactose.


What happens then? The felines may have health issues, including:

● Vomiting

● Diarrhea

● Dehydration due to extreme diarrhea

● Feeling sick


However, cats still love dairy products though they are lactose intolerant. Yes, you have read that right. Cats are attracted to these food items that contain a good amount of fat and protein.


Considering the situation, some kittens can be given powdered milk mixed with water. Pet owners can do this when the kittens have lost their cat mother.
