Cats cannot eat milk powder that humans eat. First of all, the milk powder that we humans drink is developed for the human body in different age groups. For cats, the nutrients they need are too sufficient no matter which human age group they are. Cats cannot absorb so much nutrients, so cats cannot drink milk powder that humans drink. Secondly, the milk powder consumed by humans contains lactose, and most cats are lactose intolerant.

Precautions when cats eat milk powder:

1. Choose the right milk powder

Many owners will also feed their cats human milk powder or milk. In fact, this approach is quite wrong. The lactose in these milks is relatively high, and cats are lactose intolerant. Some cats are allergic to the protein in milk, and these conditions may cause diarrhea in cats. Therefore, it is recommended that owners choose milk powder specifically for cats, which is more suitable for cats to absorb nutrients, and also adds various nutrients to provide more comprehensive nutrition.

2. How to brew milk powder

Cat milk powder should be brewed with warm water of about 40 degrees Celsius. If you use cold water to soak milk powder, the milk powder may not be completely diluted, and the cat may have diarrhea after drinking it. If cat milk powder is soaked in hot water, nutrients will be lost. The concentration of brewing depends on the age of the cat. The gastrointestinal tract of young cats has not yet developed well. It is recommended to dilute it a little, and then feed it in small amounts and multiple times to allow the gastrointestinal tract to slowly adapt.

3. How to feed milk powder

No matter which feeding method you use, you must be careful not to let the milk flow into the gross area of ​​the lungs. We can choose to hold the cat's belly with our hands, keep it in a prone position, slightly raise its head, and aim the pacifier head at the cat's mouth at an angle of 45 degrees. Do not squeeze the bottle and allow the kitten to eat at its own speed, otherwise the milk powder will flow into the cat's mouth too quickly and cause it to choke.
