Anyone seen the ads?
I guess this is the same as catmilk?
I have stopped buying cat milk but may try this for myself - the have an elimination diet on their website.
www.lactofree.co.uk

I buy this so does my sister. It's great for anyone with low lactose tolerance. It lasts ages in the fridge and Pippa will drink it now and again. Lexy won't but she doesn't like anything dairy apart from Dairylea.
-
I keep meaning to try this, I currently drink Goats milk which is also Lactose free (cats do get a little) but it does taste different to cows milk, I did love cows milk before o was diagnose i would drink pints of it!
-
I bought some goats milk a while ago for the cats to try but they weren't interested :tired:
I just couldn't bring myself to try it - the idea made me feel :sick:
-
i admit i felt the same to start with because i alway thought goats cheese smelt revolting.
I enjoy it better than the soya alternative - I found soya left me with a horrid aftertaste in my mouth.

I buy delamere semi skimmed goats milk. It's nice and doesn't have a strong smell or flavour. I can't tell the difference between that and cow's milk tbh (but my taste buds are terribly discerning and I'm not a fan of any kind of milk really). Why would the idea of goats milk make you feel sick?? As opposed to cow's milk?
Before I started buying goats milk I used to buy the lactofree. Never gave it to the cats though as I've never given them milk (unless it's licking out a bowl of cereal, in which case they will lick anything - cow's, goat's.. even soya milk)

I don't know but it's on my nausea list :sick:

Have you tried rice milk? I think its nicer than soya
-
soya milk varies hugely in flavour. When I was a vegan I used Sainsburys own brand soya milk or provamel unsweetened. I once bought a different variety and it was so disgusting it went straight down the sink and I went without tea and coffee until I could get one of the ones I liked. Don't write off soya milk in general on the basis of one brand.

Tesco own makes lovely creamy porridge :drool;
-
I bought some Lactose free milk for the cats once, but then ran out of milk and opened it for me - it was very sweet, so that might be offputting for cats. The other prob is the size cartons, I wouldnt want them to be drinking that much cat milk.
-
This type isn't sweet at all. I think in cat milk they add sweetners to it to make it more appealing for cats, but this human version is much nicer I find. Seriously, it lasts forever in the fridge.
-
If you use it for yourself and the cats, it won't last long - we get through about 2 pints a day. Dennis has to have his "Milk and cookies" :evillaugh:
-
:evillaugh: he's such a yank!
-
I do love to wind him up and say that only Maryland type cookies are cookies and the others are biscuits. He will insist on calling Oreos cookies :evillaugh:
He has given up calling crisps chips as I tease about that as well. You can tell he hates saying crisps though :rofl:
Me - " And why would I put chips in the food cupboard" :stir:
-
i dont drink that much milk though Mark. I might try this one if it isn't as sweet as the last one I tried though.
-
I meant to buy some today but forgot :Crazy:
