∙ 13y agoThey can, but its not good for them due to the lactose that is present in cow's milk. Many cats are lactose intolerant (they cannot digest it properly) so can get sick from ingesting it. Goats milk, or specially formulated cat milk do not have lactose in so are perfectly safe.

∙ 13y agoThey shouldn't. It can give them diarrhea.
They can, but they should not be given very much of it, and not very often. I give my cats a small bowl of milk every few months or so. Many cats like cow's milk, but some are lactose intolerant. Even if your cats aren't, milk and other dairy products can give cats gas, diarrhea, and other digestive problems. But if your cat likes it and can tolerate it, then a little bit, once in awhile, is okay.
