I believe most cats are lactose intolerant, so feeding them cow's milk will make them very poorly. Pet shops should supply specially formulated milk, just for cats. For further advice I would consult an expert.

They will like the milk much better. But be aware that most cats getting too much milk will also have diarrhea and it can make them sick. Water is safer.

Unless the milk is from its mother, you should not give it any type of milk that we drink. The cat may get a stomach ache.

Cats are mammals so they naturally drink milk from their mother when they are young. Milk is naturally high in fat and other nutrients, which is why cats will readily drink milk. Due to their carnivorous diet, cats need some fat in their diet.
