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.
Do not give your kitten cow's milk-it can make them sick and give them diarrhea. You can obtain mother's milk replacer for young kittens at many of the pet stores in the area. We recomment KMR. When the kittens are 8 weeks or older, they no longer need the milk but may enjoy it anyway.o not give your kitten cow's milk-it can make them sick and give them diarrhea.
