Verbal irony is when what is said is the opposite of the literal meaning. One type of verbal irony is sarcasm, where the speaker says the opposite of what he or she means in order to show contempt or mock. Other types of verbal irony include overstatement (or exaggeration) and understatement.
Thanks for A2A. There are two excellent, well-informed answers here, so I'll just try to simplify. Dr. Falconer is of course correct; pre-weaning age (about 9 weeks or younger) kittens can drink cow's milk, or any milk. Neonates are not lactose intolerant; this develops gradually with age.
Never feed a kitten cowâs milk or human baby formula as this causes stomach upset and severe diarrhoea. If a kitten is already dehydrated, this could prove fatal. This includes condensed/evaporated canned cowâs milk. On Crete âBaby Cat Milkâ is available from vets & comes with a bottle & spare teats.
