Cows milk isn't a good idea for cats in general. Yes, they like it and a tiny amount won't usually cause too much gastric distress. They make a product called KMR (kitten milk replacer) for very young kittens who are not able to nurse for whatever reason. You can buy that at some supermarkets, pet stores, and at your vet's office. They also make a product to feed as a treat that looks and tastes like milk for cats. You can get it at the supermarket.

Kittens can drink any kind of milk but giving it to the kitten a lot could cause the kittens to have worms. I would just stay away from milk

I read in a book it's not very good for cats or kittens to drink milk, or have a lot of dairy products. The best thing would be water.

It is not safe to use cow's milk with kittens. If they happen to be lactose intolerant it can cause a fatal diarrhea. It is never worth the risk.
If they are not ready to eat canned meat you need to use the kitten milk replacer formula you get at a pet store.

Don't grab a bottle of whole milk. That's a prescription for diarrhea. Buy a special kitten formula and nurser at a veterinary clinic or pet supply store. Kitten formula comes in a ready-to-use liquid or a powder.

Buy some replacement milk called KMR. It is the best milk you can buy.
I dont recommend giving you kittens cow milk. It does not have any of the nutrients that they need and can cause diarrhea.

no. most cats are lactose intolerant. the kitty may end up with diarrhea from milk, which will dehydrate he or she and make them ill. if you feel the need to feed your kitten some sort of milk, contact your vet to find out the best milk alternative.

Cow's milk is for calves. Water for kittens, and kitten food.

dont give your cat or kittens any kind of cow milk. give him/her cat milk (you can buy a mix at walmart) or goats milk if that is more accessible.
kittens cannot digest cow milk, and my cause the death of you kitten. :(

No, it is not. Cats cannot digest milk they are lactose intollerent. Dont give them milk it will give them the runs which in turn can dehydrate them and that could cause death. Just Say No!
