Oh, wow... what a crock! Cats are lactose intolerant? Ha! I had a cat get
trapped in my shop (didn't know he was there when I locked it up). After a
couple days he lapped up some antifreeze. I gave him milk as the poison
antidote but we thought he was a goner. He's still here 7 years later... I
credit the milk with saving him.

I'd have to say that a little knowledge is dangerous for some folks. :)
