Is it dangerous to drink milk even after boiling if the cat drank from the milk?

Answer 1

You should not even be giving your cat cow's milk. It is not good for them and will cause diarrhea. All your cat needs is to be fed a good name brand of dry cat food along with fresh water being available to him or her at all times.

If you are asking if it is safe to drink milk that a cat has "tasted" even after boiling then there are two answers. Boiling the milk will kill most bacteria the cat has transfered into the milk. There are small risks with consuming the milk even after boiling. The other answer is, on many small farms the barn cats will gather when milking is taking place. They either "steal" a lick or two from the milk bucket or are given small amounts spilled on the floor. Pasteurizing the milk is easy to do but requires more than just boiling.

Slowly heat the milk to 145 degrees Fahrenheit, stirring occasionally. If you are not using a double boiler, stir frequently to avoid scalding the milk.

Hold the temperature of the milk at 145 F for exactly 30 minutes. You may need to increase and decrease the heat to keep the temperature constant.

Remove the pot of milk from the heat and place it in a sink or large bowl filled with ice water. Stir constantly until the temperature drops to 40 F.

Store pasteurized milk in the refrigerator.

Answer 2

Oh, dude, like, technically speaking, boiling milk should kill off any harmful bacteria, but if your cat already took a sip, maybe just let them handle the milk situation. Like, it's probably not worth the risk of ending up in some weird cat-milk bacteria showdown. Just get some fresh milk and keep your cat out of it next time, man.

Answer 3

No, it is not necessarily dangerous to drink milk that has been boiled after a cat has drank from it. Boiling the milk will kill any harmful bacteria that may have been introduced by the cat. However, it is always recommended to exercise caution when consuming food or beverages that may have been contaminated by animals to prevent potential health risks.

Answer 4

Well, honey, technically speaking, boiling milk kills most bacteria, so it should be safe to drink even if your furry friend had a little taste. But let's be real, if your cat's been sipping on your milk, just pour yourself a fresh glass and save the drama for another day. It's not worth the risk of any potential kitty cooties getting in your system.
