5. Goats Milk & Wet Cat Food Ice Cream Recipe

Catsicle anyone? Made with goats milk and a familiar taste of their favorite wet cat food. This recipe is only recommended to try after you have completed a tolerance test with your cat. You do this by giving your cat no more than a teaspoon of goat milk, and if there is no reaction (like vomit, diarrhea, or bloating) you can work on increasing the amount of goat milk offered gradually. In this way, you can make sure it agrees with your cat’s belly. Goat’s milk has a slightly less amount of lactose than cow’s milk so cats tend to tolerate it better, however, this is not the case for every cat. Once you are sure your cat’s system tolerates goat milk you can give this recipe a try. It’s a fun and creamy treat for your feline – purrfect for hot summer days!
