Can an 8-week-old kitten drink cat milk? How often is it safe?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

I brought cat milk by Whiskers and i have a kitten that is 8 weeks old and i was wondering if i could give it some and how many times i should give it. I usually feed it wet food but was wondering if i could give it cat milk in the mornings starting tomorrow and how many times a day i should give it. Thankyou

I would not recommend giving it cat milk at 8 weeks of age. Sometimes the cat milk can cause diarrhea in older kittens. I would recommend a dry or wet kitten food for a 8 week old kitten. This is the best food option at this age.
