Cats do tend to be lactose intolerant, which is why there exists special pet milk which has the lactose removed. You generally won’t see any difference unless you watch the cat poop out the contents of its upset digestive system. Cats also try not to show pain so you’re unlikely to see much if any change in their behaviour even if they have a terrible tummy-ache.
Something about this strip reminds me of Harvey Comics’ Little Lotta (a fat, super-strong Big Eater) when she was trying to lose weight. She’s told that she has to eat half what she usually eats and in the next panel she’s in front of a table covered with a huge pile of food and when challenged about it, she says “this is half!”
Humans are the only mammal that does not have lactose intolerance in adults. As someone else said, it usually only manifests itself in the litter box, but it does make the cat uncomfortable. They just don’t associate this wonderful tasting stuff with their tummy-ache, so they keep on eating it.

I would rather eat a cookie than ice cream! I think cookies are less fattening but Garfied is going on a cookie diet.
