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.
At about eight weeks of age, kittens are ready to leave the mother. Until kittens are a year old, give them as much as they want to eat. Unlike puppies, most kittens are unlikely to overeat, and they won't get the bone and joint problems that fat puppies can develop.or the first few weeks of their lives, kittens feed only on their mother's milk, but by about four weeks of age, they start to eat her food. At this time, you can begin to wean them, gradually. Feed them a cat milk substitute or moist kitten food in a shallow dish.
