4. Kittens Need Mom's Milk, Not Cow's Milk
Mother knows best, and that includes the right milk formula for her babies. Even with a large number of lactase enzymes, kittens have trouble handling all the lactose in cow's milk. Additionally, cow's milk has an inadequate balance of whey and casein for kittens, which is why mom's brew is best. If you are raising an orphaned kitten, they should be fed specially made cat milk replacers, found at pet stores, to ensure they grow up healthy. (Feral Cat Coalition)

Hmmm notice the advertisement for cat-sip at the end.I think this is a ploy to get people to buy these farce products.I have 9 ferals and they look forward to warm milk in the winter.My beloved Harley lived to twenty ones years old and was healthy until the last year of his life.He lived on regular dry food and regular can food and only had to go to the vet twice in his life once for a bad tooth and then towards the end of his life.Except for his shots.People are making these pet industries rich.

I don't think Milk is bad for cats... Cats live on farms...cows live on farms. Do the math.
