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.
If you do wish to give your cats milk, then you can buy lactose-free cat milk (lactose is the sugar found in milk) from your pet food store, vets or supermarket, but itâs not essential. Indeed, some cats will not drink milk at all. Read our advice about giving your cat soya milk.
