My kitty will not drink cat milk. However, he LOVES to drink my milk after I eat cereal. My question...sometimes it does have a little sugar or Splenda.. will it hurt him? I don't think it will......but how unhealthy is that if he drinks it once a week?
Also, what about a little ice cream? ;-) He gives me the look and I can't say no!

The cereal milk is ok just once in a while, same with the ice cream - I know, those eyes just look at us....

You mean your kitten won't nurse? If the kitten is young enough a vet can give you a recipe for milk, but if the kitten eats solid food it really doesn't need milk at all. I would ask a vet about the added sugar in the milk from your cereal and ice cream. But I think the vet may say that cats don't normally have sugar in their diets so why would adding it be good for the cat and especially splenda? Ask your vet.

If it fairly is cow's milk, that's a ask your self your buddy would not have cat diarrhea throughout her homestead. usually speaking that's proper to no longer provide a grown cat milk via fact a lot of them are lactose illiberal. There are some cat "milk" treats on the industry, yet maximum of those are low-lactose. How does she even stand the scent of spoiled milk?! Makes me opt to heave in basic terms thinking approximately it. for specific, it won't kill them, whether it could convey forth some foul gut themes.

cats dont have to drink cats milk and actually after they are grown shouldn't. as for your milk even with sugar or splenda the cat will be fine. he'll get the runs but be fine. cats are naturally lactose intolerant. but it won't hurt him he might just get stinky farts too. chocolate is toxic to dogs not cats. and a dog would have to eat a pound of chocolate per 10lb of dog. which in all reality is a ton of chocolate! if you let your cat lick you spoon full of chocolate ice cream nothing is going to happen:)

Well, "they" say cats are lactose intolerant and shouldn't have milk, but we do the same thing with our cats and it doesn't seem to upset their tummies. The sugar is not good for their teeth, and ours do need their teeth cleaned every few years. As far as ice cream goes, be sure you're not giving him chocolate or caffeine.

my dog has that same issue...we used to take her to DQ with us to eat a spoonful of ice cream on her birthday...but she gained some weight so this year I think she may have to settle for special doggie ice cream (special made ice cream for dogs it's alittle pricey)

He'll be OK if you give him milk. Just NEVER give him chocolate ice cream.

Just don't over do it, my cat loves cheese and I give him once in while, I don't think it will hurt him.

Milk is BAAADDD for adult cats. It will give them diarrea. Ice cream too. Do not let your cat have it.
