NO!!!! Cats are actually lactose intolerant so giving them milk causes them to have diarrhea. Go to the pet store or Petsmart and buy her some kitten milk and a little bottle. In a few days she'll move on to kitten food. Best wishes

No.
Cow's milk will give a kitten diarrhea.
Go to a local pet store or vet and get kitten formula.
At about 8 weeks, kittens are ready to be weaned. Then you may start introducing canned cat food.
Wait until the kitten is older, and has all it's teeth, before you try dry cat food.
Good luck with the baby kitty! :-))
Take your kitten to the vet!

Absolutely Not!!!! Go to Petco, or some pet store and get Mother's Milk for kittens. Follow the feeding directions on the back of the can.
**Note: Most people think it is good to give their kittens or cats milk. However, it actually ruins their digestive system.

You can get kitty milk at any pet store , even walmart. Do not, unless you want poo shooting out the back end of your kitten give it peoples milk. You baby may be ok eatting soft food, mine were eatting by the time they were a month old but, i bottle fed them for a weeks after, i had mine since birth, so they got no mama milk. Good luck with your baby

you can give the kitten regular milk. In about another two weeks it will be able to eat cat food bought in the store. you could also try the kitten with some cat food now.

no, give it the formula for maybe one or two more weeks, then switch to kitten food and wet food. You have to rub its butt with a wash clothe like the mother would do with her tounge to get it to poop for the next week or so it wont die of constipation. You only have to do it for about 30 seconds a few times a day for a few more days. Good luck!

NO! Cats are allergic to lactose, so you can only give them milk if it is lactose free. Start with kitten formula (available at pet food stores and most supermarkets).
Good luck! Enjoy your new friend!

No, there is a weaning formula you should give it that is like its mother's breast milk. I would give that to them for another 2-3 months before you start it on regular cat food.

no, goat milk is what we used to feed kittens. use a serenge for cat or dog feeding and slowly squirt the goat milk into the kitties mouth.

Some cats milk is actually not good for them. Take her to a vet and ask them
