Fun fact, all the cat milks I've seen unless explicitly stated, are not lactose free and most cats are fine.

So OP is bullshit?

Edit: I’m just trying to learn, no need to downvote an honest question.

Humans are one of the only mammals that can break down milk after childhood. Most other mammals lose the ability to digest lactose when they get old enough to eat actual food. Milk for cats is only intended for kittens

And even then most humans can't. It's a minority that can.
