Hello! Boiled chicken typically is fine to give to cats, but in small amounts, and without any seasonings or added ingredients. You should consider any "human food" to be a treat for your pet, and give small amounts every once in a while. Treats should only make up 10% or less of your pet's overall diet. Milk is not always tolerated by cats, and can cause stomach issues like vomiting and diarrhea. Hope this helps!
