However, the vets here say it is fine for most cats but some are lactose intolerant (as in humans). My two have never had any trouble and I don't give them very much. Oat milk should not harm them (so I have read) but I don't see the point. Maybe I should put down some water for them until they get bored.

He's been getting increasingly cheeky with food definitely lording it over us! Eats a few biscuits then walks away so we move the bowl so Dio doesn't eat it then literally 5 mins later he's back! Stares at the cupboard where the bowl is then at us or meows and stares! Definitely giving us the run around!

We tried ozzy on kitten milk last year but he wasn't impressed - not tried again since The boys never beg or try to pinch stuff which is good but Dio does jump on the kitchen side to see if he can find stuff
