But what about cheese or yoghurt or ice cream? They love it too! Yes, correct, even our cats (or at least some of them, not all) do love to get a lick of any diary product they smell in the air. Okay, so a cat has had some mother milk and so does our cow milk product give some resemblance of that same type of milk. Lactose intolerant people and cats will therefore get a bad stomach, resulting in gastrointestinal problems. Lactose, in adequate amounts within milk, is a sugar or carbohydrate that needs to be broken down in smaller single sugars for digestion.
After the breastfeeding period, we slowly lose the enzyme to break down lactose, some faster than others. Cats, like any other mammal (so also us humans), are lactose intolerant. When that breastfeeding period is done with, they can no longer accept milk. At birth any mammal will have the enzyme to break down lactose into single sugars that are easier to digest. Just like us humans, cats drink (and need) milk after birth from the breasts of the mother. Mammals and Lactose IntoleranceĬats are mammals. Unfortunately to them, cats are lactose intolerant and should not have any dairy products after their breastfeeding period has ended, but why do cats love all dairy products nonetheless? Cats are attracted to yoghurt and milk because of the fats and protein that they can sense and smell within the dairy products. Most mammals drink milk directly after birth, so drinking milk is natural for most.
