Question by bling***bling: Can a nursing cat drink pasturized goats milk?
I have a nursing mother cat that had her babies 2 days ago. I was wondering if I could give her a little goats milk as a treat?

No. Milk of any kind is bad for cats. Perhaps give her a little tuna or buy her specially made cat treats.
But under no circumstance should you ever give a cat any kind of milk.
No (or more precisely, a tiny bit as a treat might be ok). Milk can cause diarrhea in cats and this is the last thing you want for your nursing mother. I would suggest a high quality cat or kitten food as a treat (mine love Science Diet Adult Turkey & Giblets in gravy)
Hi there again…yes, goat’s milk would be fine as a treat: http://www.peteducation.com/article.cfm?cls=1&cat=1388&articleid=681

Yes, goat’s milk and condensed milk watered down are fine. Do not give regular cow’s milk, though, as it will give her loose stool.
