Can cats eat eggs and drink milk?
Adult cats can eat eggs, but young kittens are not recommended to be fed eggs. When giving cats milk, it is not advisable for owners to give them human milk. Cats' stomachs lack lactase digestion enzymes and lactobacillus, so the lactose in milk cannot ferment in the intestines. Eating it can cause diarrhea or bloating in cats. You can consider feeding sheep's milk, as its properties are closer to cats' breast milk.
Can cats drink milk?
Cats cannot drink milk, mainly for the following two reasons: Both dogs and cats are prone to milk allergies, and if the allergy is not handled promptly, it may cause shock; cats' digestive functions are not as good as humans, and milk contains a large amount of lactose, so many cats will experience intestinal reactions such as diarrhea and vomiting due to lactose intolerance. Therefore, it is not recommended to feed cats milk.
Can cats eat eggs?
Kittens cannot eat eggs because they are too young and their intestines have not fully developed. Eggs are not conducive to digestion for cats.

When the kitten is slightly older and can eat cat food, you can feed it a little bit of beaten egg, but only if the egg is well-beaten and not whole. Otherwise, the cat may easily choke.
What should young cats eat?
For young cats, cat food is the mainstay. Due to their weaker gastrointestinal functions, you can add probiotics to the daily diet to regulate their gastrointestinal function.

If the cat is underweight, you can cook some meat for it once or twice a week, but the amount must be controlled, and you cannot feed it too much at once.
