A cat may vomit or have diarrhea and other digestive discomfort after drinking human formula, because most infant formulas use cow’s milk, which is high in lactose. A cat’s digestion is special and drinking cow’s milk easily causes lactose intolerance.
We therefore recommend feeding pet-specific goat milk formula, which is higher in protein and more easily absorbed than cow’s milk. Pet goat milk formula also adds taurine, lysine and probiotics that aid digestion and benefit the cat’s health.
