How can you get a cat milk to reproduce?
Not sure I understand the question, but here's the way I interpret it: "How do you get a cat the milk it needs to nurse its young?" The answer is, unless it's an exceptionally large litter, you don't have to. Mom cat will make all the milk she needs on her own. Just make sure she is being fed a high quality kitten food while she is pregnant and continue to feed it to her until after the kittens have been weened. Remember, mom is eating for herself and all her babies. You can buy kitten formula at any pet shop to help supplement if the litter is large (more than four to five kittens) or if you just want to give mom a break.
