Absolutely not. Cow’s milk is not a normal part of a cat’s diet. In fact, many cats are lactose intolerant. If given milk, a lactose intolerant cat may experience vomiting, diarrhea, or other digestive issues.

You’re better off just giving your cat water.

Yeah, just give your cats water. It's a common myth that adult cats need milk to survive.

While a lot of cats love to drink cow’s milk, it’s not recommended. Many cats are lactose intolerant & giving them milk will result in them getting an upset tummy. This is especially dangerous in kittens who can dehydrate quickly.

An adult cat doesn’t need to drink milk at all. If you must give your cat milk, it is recommended you purchase special “cat’s milk” which has been specifically formulated for cats to drink.

Water is the best for cats. I’m proud to say I learned that from this sight, because when I first had to draw my kitten closer to me(she was a stray and i needed to catch her) i bated her with milk. I guess a bad idea and i know better now.
