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.

Best Answer: You can start weaning them onto really soft, wet kitten food at about 3-4 weeks, but they need milk until about 6-8 weeks. 8 weeks is the earliest to separate them from their mother.eport Abuse. The mother will start to wean the kittens at about 4 weeks old. They need to stay with her till about 8 weeks to be sure they are weaned completely. Also, the mother teaches socilization and survival skills to her kittens so the longer they are with her, the better adjusted thay will grow up to be.
