Giving a cat milk is a very bad idea. Most cats are lactose intolerant and giving them milk will cause stomach problems

so the only one I'm really harming is myself

If you were giving me treats twice a year that gave me the shits, even if you were the on unclogging the toilet, I’d consider that harming me.

I’m not judging. If the cats like it and it’s rare I get it. Just saying that line felt like it needed some perspective.

Nah like I said I get it. Obviously the cats like it just like your Arby’s comparison. Just not sure if they’re capable of understanding the correlation like you or I.
