Well, they didn't come out today because it was extremely extremely hot!!!! And so, probably that's why they didn't come out. I didn't see the momma, but the kittens came out to play for a few minutes. Well, not much to tell about today.

Sana the problem with cows milk is that is has lactose and lactose will cause diarrhea. You can check the lactose content in the powdered milk. I give my 2 cats that like milk some skim milk 1 time a week and it doesn't bother their tummy or give them diarrhea. As for the powdered milk do you know if it is whole milk, partially skimmed milk or skimmed milk powder? Are the kitties getting anything other than milk to eat? Do be sure to have water available for them at all times. Leave out a nice sized bowl of water for them to drink and change it or add some ice cubes too it a few times a day to keep it cool if it is sooo hot outside. It is getting quite hot here now too and we have started this week putting ice in the dog water bowls and the water bowls we leave out for the stray and neighborhood cats.
