Some cats can tolerate it just fine. Most are lactose intolerant.
Doesn’t stop cats from loving dairy, though. (It’s the fat. They like the fat.)
Can't blame the kitties, I'm not tolerating ice cream very well but that never stopped me
I mean. ICE CREAM.
there's really nothing like a full fat custard ice cream. I'm just saying. pure heaven in a bowl. or on a cone. or whatever.
even if they make entirely non-dairy versions... or whatever... it's just not the same. Definitely can't blame the kitties. Humans have cravings that make absolutely zero sense. Like the majority of fast food joints. ew.
(also the fat and protein in dairy means it shouldn't be all that regular, or very moderate, if that makes sense? but even if they're not latose tolerant- which is unlikely- some low-lactose dairy might be okay. if you're okay with dealing with the shits.)
When I have mint ice cream, I lightly poke it so I get the tiniest bit on my finger tip. My one day runs over, licks that tiny bit of the ice cream, and he's good. Goes and lies down in his bed content.
Until I do that, he is ALL OVER MY SHIT. lol
