Can A Kitten Drink Human Breastmilk?

I would not give your kitten breast milk.  Milk is somewhat species specific.  Cow's milk and most likely human milk can cause diarrhea and gastrointestinal upset in kittens.  If kitten's need milk supplementation kitten milk replacer can be purchased in pet stores.  At 8 weeks old these kittens should not need milk supplementation and should be on kitten food.

My mother breastfed our kitten because it was the only way to keep it from being a pest! The kitten is now a cat, and nothing is wrong. She didn't do all the time, though.

But it's true--milk is species-specific.

I probably would avoid giving your cat any human breast milk.  If they are yearning for some milk get them breast milk developed especially for kittens.  The enzymes are different in every type of milk and you probably should stick with what they naturally drink.

I fed my cat breasttmilk  suck it

I  breastfeed my kitten and she is the most lovable kitten because of it. She is very attached and even lays her little paws on my breast while she drinks. There is a special bond there that would not otherwise be there. She looks at me like her mother. But it is up to you what you feel comfortable with. There is nothing wrong with my kitten. I mean, we drink cows milk and that's not a human...

Wow... I love how everyone is so quick to point out the "species specific" comment but also quick to forget how many HUMANS drink COW milk. As for me, I think I will allow my four kittens to drink the pumped breastmilk. Thanks everyone... Also good to know that no ones kittens died from drinking their human breastmilk- lol!

I am glad that I came across this. I have a kitten that someone dumped that is no more than four weeks old. I have been pumping for him as I do not keep formula in the home, and am not about to go buy some. My vet had told my neighbor just recently to give infant formula to a kitten her cat rejected, so in my eyes my breast milk would be even better for my little guy.

Yeah that would be fine to

If you really love your kittens and if there is no medical harm involved, just put a kitten to one of your nipples and let him suckle, provided you are comfortable doing that. Ignore brash and rude comments. A kitten is a mammal and is a dear pet.
