Yes, as long as it's specific milk made just for cats. Cow milk will cause diarrhea in cats (trust me, I know). I also have something to add. Not just cow milk, other milks to. The truth is that cats are lactose intolerance.So lactose free milk is fine for cats.
No, cow milk is bad for cats as they are lactose intolerant. Milk may make them throw up or give them diarrhea.

No, adult cats should not be given cow's milk. Cats should be given water to drink. Specially formulated cat or kitten milk may not offer much nutrients for an adult cat, but it is fine given as a treat.

It causes them to have an upset stomach because cats are lactose and tolerant.

Milk and its chemicals is hard for the cat to digest and may cause urinary tract infections. So DO NOT let your cat drink milk.

Some cats can, but it is not good for them due to the lactose that is present in cow's milk. Many cats are lactose intolerant (they cannot digest it properly) so can get sick from ingesting it. Goats milk, or specially formulated cat milk do not have lactose in so are perfectly safe.

Milk is not bad for cats, though milk is also not good for them. So once in a while they are allowed to have a little bit of milk

Cat's milk is not harmful to a cat's health but cows milk contains lactose which will give you cat diarrhea or some other intolerance.

No, cats are lactose intolerant once they've been weaned from their mother.
