Cats can drink goat's milk. If the kitten does not have the mother cat's milk to feed, the owner can choose to feed the kitten goat milk powder instead of the mother cat's milk; this will be better for the kitten. But be sure to choose a variety that is suitable for kittens to drink, otherwise adverse reactions will occur.

It is more suitable to give kittens goat milk powder, but you should choose carefully

In order to allow kittens to absorb nutrients better, pet owners are best to give their kittens goat milk powder to drink. Goat milk powder is closer to the mother cat’s milk, which will allow kittens to absorb nutrients better.

However, the selection of goat milk powder is very particular. You should choose goat milk powder specifically for cats, not goat milk powder for humans. Many inexperienced pet owners think of feeding their kittens the goat milk powder that humans drink; but they don’t know that this is not suitable for cats.

Because the goat milk powder that people drink contains lactose, which can be broken down and absorbed by the human body, but it cannot be absorbed by cats. Cats do not have the lactase enzyme in their bodies that can break down lactose. After drinking goat milk powder containing lactose, they are prone to lactose intolerance. They may also experience physical discomfort, such as diarrhea, vomiting and other discomforts.

It may be more suitable to feed kittens with goat milk powder specially designed for cats

For the sake of the kitten's health, it is best for pet owners to feed the kitten goat milk powder specially designed for cats; this does not contain lactose and will not cause the cat to suffer from lactose intolerance. However, in the pet market, there are various types of goat milk powder for cats.

There are imported foreign brands and domestically produced ones; however, when pet owners choose cat and goat milk powder, they must not place too much trust in foreign brands of cat milk powder. This is because after some merchants have registered the trademark of cat and sheep milk powder abroad, they will arrange the production and sales of the milk powder in China; this is the so-called "selling dog meat on the head of a sheep", deceiving the majority of pet consuming parents.

Also, when choosing cat and goat milk powder, pay attention to the ingredients; do not choose goat milk powder with added pigments, flavors and other chemical substances, but choose hypoallergenic cat and goat milk powder.
