I don't know about the water, but I heard never feed your cat milk, contrary to popular belief.

Biggie is right. It's not a good idea to give cats milk. Believe it or not, cats are lactose intolerant. A little bit won't kill them, but it will tear up their bowels and cause diarrhea. Water is perfectly fine, warm or cold.

I have never given my cats milk nor any that I have taken care of. I had a neighbor that insisted on giving her cats milk. It was simply called kitty milk and she bought it at a pet store.

Ahh, good point bushg! I forgot about the 'cat safe' milk.

I fed my kittens milk before and it made he really sick. But there is milk especially for cats in he Whiskas range. I'ts only about 89c for a carton.
