Best Answer

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.

What percent of cats like milk more than water?

It is easy to presume that the majority of cats will prefer milk to water. Milk is naturally high in fat and other nutrients, which is why cats will readily drink milk. However, it is not ideal to give cats cow's milk, or any other milk that has lactose in. Most cats are lactose intolerant, and can cause upset stomachs and diarrhoea. Speciality formulated cat milk can be found in most stores, and because they are free of lactose, are perfectly safe for a cat to drink.
