True Story...

Customer: Do you sell raw goat's milk?
Me: No. It's not legal in this state.
Customer: So I'd have to have my own goat to get some?
Me: Well, yes, that's one way. You could find a farm that would be willing to sell it to you labelled as "pet food." It's sort of a loophole that some farms have found.
Customers: Oh, but that's what it's for.
Me: What?
Customer: I need it for pet food. I have six cats...
Me: No...kidding?
Customer: Yes, there was an article in Natural Cat magazine that said that raw goat's milk has all the vitamins and minerals that cats need. I have six cats...
Me: Uh. Well. The only place I know that sells raw milk to individuals is a place called Organic Pastures out in California. They only sell cow's milk, though, and it's like $8/gal plus shipping. They label it as pet food so they aren't breaking the law.
Customer: Maybe they have goat's milk.
Me: ...maybe. Have you considered maybe giving the cats some other kind of supplements or diet that will accomplish the same thing? I mean, I'm not sure what it is about cow's milk that makes it not good for cats, but it's possible that quality is shared with goat's milk. Plus, by the time you spend the money and time trying to procure raw goat's milk, it might be less expensive to get the cats what they need in another way.
Customer: Oh. I suppose so? But the article said...
Me: Yeah...but I mean, when do adult cats drink milk in nature? I mean, if you're going to go all natural with the cats' diet, maybe milk isn't the way to go, right?
Customer: *brain freeze*


Lord. "Natural Cat" magazine? Is that a real thing? I weep for society.
