Can I feed my cat with a upset stomach warm milk and crackers or what should I do for him?

No, warm cow's milk will make the problem worse. Crackers are far too dry and, as soothing on the stomach they are for humans, they are not for a cat. The best thing to feed a cat is plain (not seasoned) cooked chicken, preferably boiled. Plain chicken is very bland and very easy for a cat's stomach to digest. You can even use some of the cooking water to moisten the chicken with, or just to entice the cat to drink. Purchasing malt paste such as Pro-Kolin may also help. This paste is a probiotic and helps balance the bacteria in the cat's stomach and gut. Keep the cat on this bland diet for a few days should give things enough time to settle. If your cat is still unwell after a few days, it is recommended to consult a vet.
