The milk you buy in the store isn't good for kittens. It will cause diarrhea. There is such a thing as milk specially designed for kittens but I wouldn't get him/her started on that. If you're adamant about giving him/her milk, you can get that from a pet store. Water is perfectly fine.

If kittens are lactose intolerant cow's milk is especially dangerous for them as the resulting diarrhea can be very debilitating or even close to fatal. Not all cats are lactose intolerant, but most are. If nothing has happened yet, I'm sure it will be okay.

Hi there...when a kitten drinks cows milk it causes diarrhoea or loose stools, which can be very dangerous because it dehydrates them quickly causing death in the worse cases. Cats do not have the proper enzymes to properly break down the sugar in milk which is called 'lactose.' You may have heard of people who are lactose-intolerant. They are also missing these digestive enzymes. If the proper enzymes are not present, the lactose remains undigested and tends to ferment in the intestine and cause diarrhea.

there won't be a problem, but kitten milk does not have the right nutrients for feeding over a long period of time. Get the correct formula.

Well she might just have some nasty diarrhea. What is causing this is the fact that she no longer has the enzymes to break down lactose, like people that are lactose intolerant. So if it's really bad diarrhea you can give her a tea spoon of pepto.

it is not always healthy for a cat to have normal cow milk. The only healthy kind is the mother's milk: (

Depends on the type of milk? Whole milk w/ wheat extract is the best, plenty of water in addition to milk. Otherwise, you cat could get constipated or get diahrea. Rehydrate with LOTS of water.
DO NOT GIVE IT PEPTO!!!!!!

Kittens and cats should not have milk; it upsets their digestive system.

a kitten is not used to the fridge milk and she weirds out. you should feed her evaporated milk or regular milk with a little bit of water.

It will go big & strong.
What the fudges are you talking about/is wrong with you? :-p :D
All living creatures need a source of food & water. So your cat will survive if it drank milk which is a liquid.
