Don't give them any milk unless it's the cat milk you can buy in a grocery store 99 cents here where I live, I tried it but my puss didn't like it but some cats are crazy for it, so try that. I used to give my cat 1% milk a tiny bit and she loved, didn't get sick until much later, got a lot of stomach problems which cost my plenty, so I wounldn't give any cow's milk to any cat, they will get sick at some point, just stick with the cat milk, foods,etc.

Cows milk is not good for cats. Most cats are lactose intollerable. There is a special milk made just for kittens that you can buy at your local pet store but if this kitten is at least 6-8 weeks old, water is just fine.

Cows milk is NOT good for cats. I agree with an above poster that said your local pet store will sell a milk that they can drink. Water is just fine though.

There are milk replacers in the shops in maximum shops puppy components. Cow's milk isn't large for cats or kittens and now and returned could lead on them to very very sick. you're extra effectual off sticking with replacer. I assure they're going to like it basically as lots and be happier& extra healthy. you will get it in the two powered or liquid type, the powder lasts for a protracted time.

Milk is a bad idea for cats. They get sick from it. The best thing to do is to buy 99 cent cartons of cat milk for them. To them it tastes the same but it's completely healthy for them.

They sell proper formula to give them at pet stores, if the mama kitty is absent. If she's still there then her milk should be fine. Cats don't need milk after weaning.

Your husband is wrong. Kittens only need milk from their mother while nursing.

If you insist on feeding them milk, feed them goat's milk or soy milk. Cow's milk isn't good for them. It's recommended to feed them water only.

i had six litters in the last 2 yrs and i gave the kittens a bowl once a day.
they took it good, but if any of them starts vomiting then stop giving it to them. sometimes they just like there mama's milk better.
but it's o.k. once a day.
good luck from the staff of http://www.boeafitness.com
