My cat loves milk?

Question

Is it o.k. to give him a little? He meows for it every morning when I get my coffee.

Answer 1

I would go to your local pet store - and check into the milk they sell specifically for cats. that way the cat will still have the bonding moment with you each morning and not take in a lot of something that isn't too good for him/her. I personally feel it is the bonding the cat is craving more than the milk.

Answer 2

Give your cat what is called Cat Milk by Whiskas. It is in your cat food aisle at your grocery store. That is formulated for the digestive system of cats. Some cats cannot handle our milk so give them Cat Milk is really good for them. Be sure not to give too much at once, just a little till the milk is gone and do it like twice a day like once in the morning when you are having your cup of coffee and at night when you are enjoying your nightly cup of coffee if you drink coffee at night.

Answer 3

Cats naturally love the creamy texture and taste of milk. However, since I was little, my mum drummed into me that we can't feed them "Human" milk. So when I moved out and adopted two kitties of my own, I started them on "Whiskas Cat Milk" and they love it (so does their bellies)!!! It is formulated for cats and kittens as they have more sensitive stomachs. It gives them the calcium they need and makes sure they get their hydration requirements every day. It costs almost $3.00 for almost a litre and can be bought from the cat food aisle at your supermarket. Just remember to empty, clean and replace with fresh milk every day. And always, no matter what, keep fresh water available. Hope this helps!

Answer 4

A little is probably OK, but cow's milk can give cats the runs. They are lactose intolerant.

You can get a kind of special cat milk, and that would be a better treat.

Answer 5

Sure, that's just fine. Not a lot though. It's better than most "treats" that people buy from the grocery or pet store.

I have a 14 yr old cat who likes to lap up the milk from the bottom of my cereal bowl. He doesn't even do that every day.

Answer 6

Just a little every month or two. Belive it or not, milk is actually unhealthy. But only if you drink a lot of it.If you do, it causes blood clots and since a cat is so little it can get blood clots easily.You get blood clots from a lot of milk in your body because milk puts all that calcium in your blood so your blood will get more cells in it.

Answer 7

Unless you like cleaning up diareah, then no, it's not good to give a cat milk. Like some humans, they can not digest it well so it runs right through them. But if you just have to give some to her, I'd give her a little tiny bit about once per week if that.

Answer 8

Most cats are lactose intolerant, so giving them milk we drink isnt always a good idea, plus it leads to diarhea and vomiting. However you can go to a pet store and buy your cat milk specailly formulated for him. You can usually find it in the cat treat section. My cats love it!

Answer 9

Milk is not good for cats as it caused digestive upset and diarrhea. I know my cat's beg for milk and I do give them a tablespoon or two for a rare treat. You could have cat treats on hand and give him one when he begs in the morning.
