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.
But to be clear, feeding kittens cowâs milk isn't a good idea either. âEvery species makes milk thatâs different in composition â the amounts of calories, protein, fat, and lactose are different in catâs milk and cowâs milk, so feeding a kitten milk from another species can be problematic too,â Dr. Farcas explains.ut to be clear, feeding kittens cowâs milk isn't a good idea either. âEvery species makes milk thatâs different in composition â the amounts of calories, protein, fat, and lactose are different in catâs milk and cowâs milk, so feeding a kitten milk from another species can be problematic too,â Dr. Farcas explains.
