My vet said that milk isn’t good for cats as many are lactose intolerant.

cats cant digest milk proper, actually cats dont need milk…..you can give them fresh egg yolks instead (once a week), it makes their fur shiny and soft

no variation of cow’s milk is good for cats. Fee them cat food. if their kittens you can get mother’s milk at a local vet or walmart.

Cow’s milk can make cats sick, so it shouldn’t be given.
But some treats that you can offer your cat if you want to give some people food are eggs, fish or chicken. Any of these can be given either raw or cooked. Tuna has a lot of fatty acids in it, so cats really like it, but only give them small amounts at a time.
Once we went fishing at my husband’s grandfather’s house and we were catching perch. This huge cat came over from the house next door, and every time we pulled a fish in we could barely get it off the line then the cat came and grabbed it and ran off and snacked on it. It was pretty funny.

Don’t feed them milk if they are old enough to stop milking off thier mother. It is not good for them. Give them water or real food as soon as they are old enough to stop milking. Work with them to do that.

Giving cats milk is dangerous for them, give them water instead and feed them some food…

Whiskas has a product they call CatMilk, it comes in a small purple carton. Your local pet store probably has it; if not chances are good that you can order some since it does not have to be refrigerated until you open it. My cats love it.

Most adult cats are lactose intolerant. Intestinal upset and diarrhea can occur….or you could end up with a cat that does what my male does; barfs ten minute after having any milk. Not pleasant, lol.
Cat Sip is a non-lactose cat milk.
And be forewarned, you’re going to get a lot of condescending answers about how you shouldn’t give your cats any dairy, real or fake, because they don’t “need” it *rolling eyes*. Like it’s a crime for some of us to want to give our cats a treat every now and then. Yeah, I already asked a question along these lines, and didn’t get any real helpful answers.

Look in the pet food isle at the grocery. There is a milk like product for cats. It looks like a juice box. Sorry I’ve forgotten the name. Cats shouldn’t have cow’s milk or goats.

u shouldnt give them any milk because the vet told us that it produces worms in the cats body and its not good for their digestive system. Water is the best thing for cats,

After kittens are weened from their mother they should NOT have ANY MILK. In an older cat it can cause diarrhea. You should always have a bowl of fresh water left out for your cat.
