Kitten Milk Bar

How is this for an enterprising kitten!   This picture of kittens who help themselves to milk was sent in to us by goat breeders who put the ‘milk bar’ out for the goat kids to have a drink whenever they like.  It’s a useful way to rear goat kids when there are more than one to feed.   When goats milk is fed adlib the kids are less likely to drink too much.  No one expected that the kittens would be helping themselves too!

Whilst cows milk is not good for cats or kittens (they can’t tolerate it and it makes them ill), goats milk is fine and they love it.   Adult cats benefit from a saucer of goats milk now and then and goats yoghurt is also beneficial.

Anglo-Nubian Goat breeders, Margaret and Ray Edginton are the people to contact if you would like to know more about the goats or if you are thinking of buying a goat.   The website is anglonubiangoatsociety.com and is full of interesting goat info, help and advice.
