    Cheese is made from milk and cats become allergic to milk once they are weaned. The cat cannot digest the lactose in cheese and it will give the cat an upset stomach and a case of the shyttz.

    You might try a little as a treat and then wait for the stomach upset, or not. You will soon find out if it makes him vomit or have diarrhea. Don't make it a big part of the diet....just a treat.

    Yes in moderation. Too many calories and will get fat if too much.
