Question
Is milk OK for old (20 years) cats - he seems to love it!

Answer
Milk and other dairy products (mine LOVE yogurt) is perfectly fine as long as the animal isn't lactose intolerant.  Always discontinue feeding them any dairy that causes diarrhea, vomiting, etc.  ...and always remember, moderation is best...always keep portions small.

Experience

I have done research on the relationship between feline diet and feline diabetes due to my personal experience in dealing with one of my own cats. I am a pet lover and always have numerous cats and dogs. I believe in feeding a high quality and by-product free diet. Diet alone cured my diabetic cat as well as either cured or significantly helped many others.
