Is it okay to give a 3yr old tabby milk every second or third day?

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Most adult animals are actually lactose intolerance. As long as the milk doesn't cause vomiting or diarrhea then it shouldn't hurt Skittles. I hope this helps! Have a great day!
