ASK DR. SCHELLING When I was a kid, we would give our cats a saucer of milk every day. Lately I read that cow’s milk is not good for them. What’s the truth? –Cindy |

Dear Cindy, Many of us grew up thinking that milk was an important part of a cat’s diet, but this is actually a myth. While many cats like milk, it may not like them. This is because many adult cats are lactose intolerant. Cow’s milk is also problematic for kittens, because it does not contain the proper balance of nutrients.

CATNIP CHRISTMAS STOCKING: Give this stocking to your cats on the nice list (and to the naughty ones too, they like toys)! These stockings are filled with the ultimate treat—catnip. There may be no mice stirring on the night before Christmas but you can bet your cat will be if they have this stocking! CATNIP CANDY CANE: Straight up with a twist! The Catnip Candy Cane is the purrfect remedy after an exhaustive morning of cleaning and preening and looking fine. It all starts with a good pawing around with the Cane, a little purr-elation, maybe a cute rollover maneuver as the nip kicks in, then over to the living room window for a restful snooze in the afternoon sun.. MUSIC MY PET HOLIDAY TREATS CD: Being that I am a refined cat, I enjoy classical music. I am loving the Music My Pet Holiday Treats CD with classical holiday music. It keeps me calm during all the hussle and bussle of the holiday season and I can tell the humans like it too. Have a favorite product you want to review? Send it to askfancy@mewsletter.com |
