As you count down the hours before you're free from the grip of the daily weekday grind here is this Friday's Fun Fact:
Did you know that most cats are lactose intolerant?
Wait Whaaaat?
It's true. Poor kitties love their milk but it hurts their bellies.
So next time you lovingly give your cat a saucer of milk and they upchuck all over your carpet- don't say we didn't warn you!
We found a good solution to this by giving our kitties soy milk. Their favorite drink by far tends to be the almost-milkshake-thick Almond Milk. Find Blue Diamond Almonds Unsweetened Almond Milk in the regular Milk Freezer Aisle at Giant. Purchase the Original & Unsweetened flavor to use with ease in any of your cooking. That version has zero grams of sugar and only 40 calories per one cup serving.
Note: Vanillla flavored Almond Milk is fine for baking but gross with mac n chreese (that's right mac n "chreese" the cheese free boxed mac!) so just be sure you remember which one you bought before mixing it in to your dinner!

PS This seems like the best time to introduce the Meatless Fleet Felines! Below on the left (you can just make out his almond milky chin) is Max the Cat! Max likes sequins, almond milk, outdoor boy cats, and ribbons. Max dislikes Tupperware containers and thunderstorms.
On the right is Mr. Popper getting his almond milk grub on. Mr. Popper likes being dapper, meowing in the guise of Flipper, and nibbling on plant leaves (such a veg!). Mr. Popper dislikes the street cleaning machine, and sharing the bed.
