Sweet whey

I ordered (by mistake) a five-pound bag of sweet whey, and didn't
discover it until I opened it.  As soon as I did, though, Pi showed a
marked interest.  So I put a teaspoonful or so into his dish, and he
licked it up.

This is so unusual - Pi usually won't eat anything but cat food and
peanut butter, and tuna water.  He doesn't even eat the tuna!  Doc's
usually the adventurous one, dietetically speaking, and he wasn't
interested.  

It turns out sweet whey is just about a half-step away from being milk
sugar, and as a low-carbing diabetic, I can't use it.  But I'd like to
find some way to make it an easier treat for Pi than for him to have to
try to lick up dry powder.  

Any suggestions?  (I've separated out a half-pound or so for him, I'm
going to find someone else who wants the rest.)

Most cats are severely lactose-intolerant and will get violent
diarrhoea from it.

Mine cats aren't lactose intolerant. They love milk and get no nasty
side effects. Kittens tend to get some diarrhoea though, although not
violent and they grow out of it.

I've heard that a lot, but nobody seems to actually have a cat who got
sick or had diarrhea from it.  Neither of mine does.  I wonder if that's
one of those 'things that everybody knows that just aren't true'.
