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.
