Best Answer

Many adult cats are lactose-intolerant; however, a small amount of milk will not hurt them.

ADD:

Instead of even giving a cat a small amount of cow's milk, it is advisable to buy some specially formulated "kitten/cat milk" instead. This is completely safe for cats and is often fortified with extra nutrients.

yesADD:Does the question mean "can you give milk to mother cats for them to drink?" or "do mother cats produce milk?"To the first, it is never a good idea to give a cat cow's milk; many cats are lactose intolerant and can get sick from drinking it. This could be very dangerous to the mother cat and her kittens.To the second, yes, healthy mother cats will produce milk for the kittens. If the mother is struggling or not producing enough, you need to get some Kitten Milk Replacer and bottles from your vet to help the kittens get enough food.
