Never had a problem and have always had cats. Half and half is good too.

cats and milk
Have had cats for over 40 years. Was told they are lactose intolerant and cannot digest milk properly and not to give them any.
I've had cats all my life and agree
milk must not be all that great for them since mine always get diarrhea after drinking it. I wonder if they would be more tolerant of organic raw milk or goat's milk.
I think cats look beautiful - love pics of cats

They can also be he!! on wheels to live with and a major PITA.


I say this as my dog is barking at a leaf blowing by the front door.....


Milk around here has been

perhaps it is residual milk, since she was still--sm
lactating when the kittens were taken away. Perhaps call the vet to see if and what can be done to relieve this.
Maybe I should send milk
I can't believe the milk prices elsewhere. Anyone want NY milk. LOL.
Why are we okay with animal milk?
Funny how we think it is "normal" to drink the milk of an animal, don't you think?

Honestly, I would much rather find an animal hair in my food than a human hair though. :) I even get grossed out when it is my own hair!!
can milk be frozen?
and still be good to drink?
Milk around here is $2.50 a gallon

and it takes 1 gallon to make a nice chunk of mozzarella. It takes 3 gallons to make the harder cheeses like cheddar and Monterey Jack.  I want a good "biting" sharp cheese.


I'm sure if I look around here, I could find cheaper milk. I just haven't tried yet. Years ago, I could buy raw milk from a local farmer, but I don't think there are any dairy farmers around here anymore. I know of 1 in another county but he's 20 miles away "over the mountain". It's too dangerous to go there in the winter.


 


1/2 CUP TO 2/3 CUP MILK IN ICING
SORRY ABOUT THE MISUNDERSTANDING, DIL TOLD ME WRONG & COULDN'T FIND MY RECIPE.. JUST TALKED TO MOM..
We used to use the wax milk cartons for candles sm
when I was a kid. We used to put some ice in the carton and then add the wax. It always made different looking candles. Also, if you have an old electric mixer, you can make the wax foamy while it is still liquid and look like suds or piles of snow.
I have bought this milk for years
and I have not had any problems like that, I have had menstrual problems but that is due to my thyroid. My hubbie and I both have drank it for that long. I hope that is not true but you never know.
Mother's Milk in Food
What nutritional value does this serve for an adult? I don't think he is going to ramp up his business by publicly announcing that he is putting breast milk in his food. Most would probably find that rather weird not to mention gross. What women would allow this man to use their breast milk for such a purpose? Breastfeeding is supposed to be not only a nutritional gain for a child but a bonding experience for mother and child. I don't see many women going for this either.
Well, if these cows are suppling milk
they are hamburger. What does PETA have to say about that?
saw Milk this weekend and everyone was bawling.
everyone in the theater was crying. 
I give my cat milk about once a month but
it's "cereal" milk and he'll only have a few swallows and then be done. He drinks with his paws which I think is a hoot!!
Substitute milk for the water and it's
If you use shortening to grease your pan, then sprinkle sugar instead of flour for a sweet bottom! 
Email, heavens no.. he might still be into the milk jug situation
and my breasts are through with that. These are probably the most obnoxious reading posts I have read, ever on here.
And squirting milk on a cousin of his is not normal either
just amaze yourself and read some of this nut's posts. Un-b-liv-able.....
Try some low-fat vanilla soy milk in your joe, Hayseed. Awful at

Totally agree, cornbread, milk, egg
Never added sweet unless cookies, brownies, cakes, pies- all those got sweets.
milk chocolate. Snow or sand?

So instead of "stealing baby cows milk"
we are supposed to steal baby human's milk??? Hello?! If mommas in financial distress find out they can sell their breast milk rather than give it to their kid, they are going to do that!

And like PETA said "the breast is the best!"


Are you hoping to milk a sexual harrassment lawsuit out of this?

Oh for crying out loud! Drink some warm milk and

$4.75 a gallon of milk at Costco here, cheapest place around nm

99-cent stores in Houston sell milk....
any fat content, 2 gallons for $3. Might be worth a shot if making cheese, though I don't know what the yield would be when converting liquid to solid. Sure beats the $4+ per pound price of cheese in the grocery store.
My uncle told me each teat on a cow gave different kinds of milk (sm)
One for whole, one for 2%, one for chocolate, and one for buttermilk. That was when I was *real* little; I don't think I bought that one very long.

He also told me that the mountain people had to have "hill cows" which had legs shorter one side than the other so they could stand on the hills without falling over. (If you've ever seen cows standing on a steep hill in the mountains, you'll understand why I believed that for a while...)

LOL.
Generic corn-chex cereal, milk, & a cup of coffee. (nm)

Mocha - 2 shots, nonfat milk, extra hot, no foam and a straw pls.

I think it tastes burnt. But I do like their iced coffee drinks, full of milk and sugar, LOL. nm

I miss college and Carnation Instant Breakfast in a nice tall glass of ice cold milk.

House. Milk chocolate or Dark chocolate?

If you've got one, you've got bunches!

How do ya feel about cats?  That's what I'd do...get a cat...but I love cats and love it when they bring me 'presents' of dead varmints. 



If that's not an option, and you're not comfortable with baiting, glue traps, or that sort of thing, it'd be worth it to hire a professional 'cridder ridder' or exterminator.  Those things will chew up your walls and floorboards like you have no idea and cause incredible amounts of damage.  Good luck in your jihad! 



 


 


I've done this 12 yrs and I've had to take breaks sm
Took a break and worked at my kids preschool one year, worked at a hospital one year, took a couple months off once. It does burn you out because it takes all of your concentration. When I worked at the hospital as a secretary I could not believe how easy the job was ;-) I was sooo used to just getting paid for actual work that when I had a conversation with a coworker or a phone call or took lunch, I felt like I was getting away with a lot! I hope your break works out!! I wish you lived close-by, we could take turns watching each others kids ;-)
Really, I give my cat milk and half and half
well over 14.  Stray cats will eat/drink anything they can get ahold of to survive.  Not sure why we shouldn't give cats milk.
Cats

My only suggestion would be to have set feeding times for the cats, that way you can monitor which cat is eating what. Just a thought -


Although my cats have started to eat my dogs' food, so I guess I shouldn't be one to give out advice!

Iams has been notorious for cruel treatment of their animals in research - you might want to switch brands.

I have the same problem, getting my cat declawed tomorrow. She has clawed through the leather.

My sister uses Soft Paws, which you glue on to a cat's claws. She said that they last about 6 weeks. My cat loves to jump on counters and scratch chair legs. I have used Sticky Paws, which is a double-sided tape. I have also heard of products that you can spray on furniture that makes it undesirable, though I haven't tried that myself so I'm not sure if they work.

What cat food was he on there is a HUGE recall of many many brands of cat food - they changed the source of their wheat gluten and cats and dogs are dying from liver or renal failure - check it out on MSN or CNN . The same manufacturer makes about 60 different brands.

We never had a cat till the kids brought home an abandoned one. He is just like one of the family. I like everybody else would spend money I dont have on him.
Cats

My sister uses Soft Paws with her cats and really likes them.  She said that the Soft Paws will fall off about every 6 weeks due to growth of their claws.


We have no more cats
You are going off on ME because I was looking for some suggestions to get HER to understand the destruction her pet has caused.

If it was anyone else but family, I would have shot the dog without hesitation.

As a matter of fact, I have used the pellet gun to pop him in the rear several times. That only keeps him away for a few days at a time.

You can say what you want but if I just went out and shot her dog, that WOULD be like killing her kid to her.

My husband's sister is more important than the cats. We loved our cats but my kids have one aunt. Only one.


Thank God for no more cats

Like I said watch your kids around the chow as the older they get the nastier and more protective they get and are much more aggresive than a lot of other dogs. Even if it were my sister, if her dog did that and she would not accept responsibility for the dog's actions -- would not accept it.  My animals are members of my family (I have no kids just step) and my dog is part chow but if she had ever shown agressive behavior in her past 16+ years or had killed a couple of cats, I would have had her put down and hated doing it but would have felt it was necessary.   Again, if another dog did that to one of my two cats -- either family member or not -- something would be done especially if it happens more than once.   Just my thinking -- again you were asking for suggestions just don't like the obvious ones.   Cannot treat this situation nice and sweet like ice cream and cake as it is ugly.


These are cats though
not doggies so dominance in the cattie category? I don’t know but still my sensitive one.
Cats
I had to laugh when I read your post, I have often told my husband that if I had to chose, he'd have to leave. LOL.
3 cats and a dog
Cats names are Bailey, Max, and Scooter. My German Shepherd is Kodiak.
Six cats...sm
Fidget (combination of freaking midget, small when he was born), Dogfood (don't know why, hubby named her), Mother One Eye (obvious, she is the mother of Fidget and has one eye), Big (outside male cat, named after Carrie's Big on SATC), Ellie Ann (she actually looks like an alien cat, changed up the name a bit), and Mr.Pinkas (huge, longhaired boy, loves to sleep in the attic area and comes in with pink insulation all over his backside, hubby said no way to calling him Mr Pink A$$, so Pinkas it is).
cats
I don't know much about San Francisco....probably too high a risk to let the cats out by themselves.   Watching the "real thing" is not quite enough for the felines....I mean, when you got one that can jump 12 feet in the air and snag a red bird (cardinal), beats up moles, chipmunks, and cottomouths (snakes)....that's Napster....I've seen my friend's cats nearly hurt themselves trying to go through a plate glass window after the birds, chipmunks, et al.....it's such a tease.  .I've had many, many cats and they would walk for miles with me...Fioma was the best......Right now Napster (12 lbs) and Zeus (120 lb Great Pyreness dog) walk together with me in the morning....I get the most curious looks and smiles from the kids on the school bus seeing the 2 of them together.  If you can manage some time to take your cat out to explore and play in the grass (there are leashes for them) you'll find a happier cat.  Napster won't even use a litter box...meows at the door or window by my desk to go out.  Remember, you don't own them....they own you....you're just a custodian of these sweet beings..Cat.     
cats

Just for you San Fran.....Congrats on your new rescue kitty!  What's it's name?
