Except in the case of immediate emergency with no other option, it does more harm than good to give cows' milk to kittens. Kittens should get their mother's milk until weaning; if the queen isn't producing sufficient milk or is otherwise unable to care for the kittens, you should feed the kittens a formula designed for cats (e.g. KMR).
After weaning, cats have no need of milk and it shouldn't be given to them. Most cats are lactose intolerant, so even 1% milk can cause serious problems.
That being said, an accidental lick or two by a curious kitten shouldn't do any permanent harm.
It depends on the type of milk.
Skim, for example, is about 90 calories per cup....while whole milk is nearly double that at 160 calories per cup.
It depends on the recipe but, most of the time, yes you can but it won't be as rich or creamy as it would with whole. If you don't want as much fat but similar creaminess, you could always use half and half.
It will not be quite as rich but it should set up and be fine.
A collection of opinions from s.com contributors:
Not in the quantity you can eat it to replace your animal protein intake, but all foods can make you fat if you eat too much of them.
One litre of milk contains 32 grams of protein
Low fat milk can replace other types of milk in most recipes (the exceptions being condensed milk and evaporated milk), however you shouldn't expect it to be as creamy or thick as it otherwise would be. Low fat milk, of course, doesn't have the same fat content, and the fat is what imbues the recipe with flavor.
If you are going to use low fat milk, I would suggest making sure you pump up the flavor in other ways, like using more spices or more flavorful secondary ingredients.
There are 2 points in a one cup glass of fat free milk.
This question can be answered through the application a little bit of algebra. Allow me to demonstrate:
First, assign variable (essentially letter) values to the amounts of each type of milk. In this case, X represents the quarts of 4% butterfat milk, and Y represents the quarts of 1% butterfat milk.
We know that we need 75 quarts of 1% butterfat milk, so no matter how much of each type we mix, they must add up to 75 quarts. Thus...
X+Y=75
That's our first equation. To solve this, we're going to need one more.
To obtain the objective percentage of butterfat, we must convert all percentages into decimal format. Thus 4%=0.04, 1%=0.01, and 3%=0.03. Now, we know that X has 4% butterfat, thus the butterfat content contributed by X milk is represented by
0.04X
And we know that Y milk has 1% butterfat, thus the butterfat content contributed by Y milk is represented by
0.01Y
To calculate the percentage of butterfat in the entire mixture, one must divide the sum of the concentrations by the total volume of 75 quarts, meaning that the beginning of our our second equation would look like this:
(0.04X+0.01Y)/75
And since we want our objective mixture to have a 3% butterfat concentration, the equation would finish out like this:
(0.04X+0.01Y)/75=0.03
Now we have a system of equations.
X+Y=75
(0.04X+0.01Y)/75=0.03
There are many ways to solve this, but one of the most visually demonstrable methods is the method of substitution. This means getting one equation in terms of one variable. The best way to do this would be to set the first equation equal to Y. Thus
Y=75-X
Now, every time that we see Y appear in the second equation, we replace it with (75-X). Like this
(0.04X+0.01(75-X))/75=0.03
Now we can solve this equation for X. The following equation demonstrates multiplying the answer by the denominator of the fraction and the distribution of the 1%
0.04X+0.75-0.01X=2.25
Now we combine like terms and subtract 0.75 from the answer to get
0.03X=1.5
All that's left is to divide the answer by 0.03 to know what X equals
X=50
This means that we're going to need 50 quarts of 4% butterfat milk.
Now, to solve for the 1% butterfat milk. We can simply take the value we found for X and plug it into the modified version of our first equation to get that
Y=75-50
or
Y=25
This means that we will need 25 quarts of 1% butterfat milk mixed with 50 quarts of 4% butterfat milk to obtain 75 quarts of 3% butterfat milk.
This form of algebraic computation can be used to solve any similar problem.
This depends on location. Two gallons of milk will cost differently in one part of the country and the other. For instance, two gal. of milk may cost $20, whereas, in another part of the country, that same two gal. may cost only $12.
Low fat milk can be substituted for evaporated milk, but the final product will be noticeably less rich and lacking in flavor. A better substitute would be fat-free evaporated milk, also called evaporated skim milk.
Well, I'm not sure, but I think whole milk is way better. Also, you should probably use organic.

For healthy eating purposes, yes, definatley. Skimmed milk has far fewer calories than cream, and far less saturated fat.
yes, but soy baby formula is better. also, water down the milk a little (whether it's milk or baby soy)
According to gicare.com (link below), most milk is gluten-free. However, chocolate milk may contain gluten. Be sure to check the label.
No, most mammals are born to live off of their mother's milk. If anything, whole milk would be better as "2%" has a reduced fat content. In the case of a very young puppy, the increased fat content provides a surplus of energy for optimal growth. Milk is a nutritional supplement provided from a mother's teat for very young offspring to survive and nourish themselves until they are old enough to feed themselves or hunt on their own.
Sure, you shouldn't notice any difference at all. Your baked goods will have fewer calories, proportionate to the amount of milk the recipe calls for, but nothing else will change.
In some recipes though, changing from whole milk to 1% will change what foodies call the "mouth feel". It won't be as rich. Like macaroni and cheese: to get that silky, creamy, rich feel in your mouth, you really want to use whole milk and not reduced fat.
