It's not like this stuff is a commodity our even plentiful. Mostly, who ever thought of milking women to feed cows?

which are reasons ENOUGH, the proteins in cow's milk are the most common cause of allergies and acne.

I've read that human milk and domestic cat milk are close. It's just one of those silly factoids stuck in what's left of my brain.

Actually, my cats who have had kittens have loved to have their tummies rubbed between feeding times. Getting enough of a sample to analyze wouldn't have been that difficult.
