No milk needed. Cats do not need it and it could cause issues with allergies and digestion. I suggest you offer dry and canned food. Look on the back of the bag to see how much to give depending on the weight. A three month old kitten weighs about 3 pounds. Kittens gain about 4 oz per week until about 5 to 6 months old. Add a little canned food morning and night. Good luck with Barfi.

Great question! Barfi does not need milk; in fact, it's never recommended to give a cat cow's milk because they are lactose intolerant and it will cause GI upset in the form of diarrhea and/or vomiting. The only liquid he needs is water. As for wet food, I'd recommend a combination of wet food and dry food. The wet food has a higher moisture content, but the dry food will help keep tartar off his teeth. Feed him according to the package instructions of the food in order to give him the right amount. You can feed him three times a day (divide the daily allotment into three equal portions to be fed morning, noon, and evening), or you can leave the food out for Barfi to graze all day long. I hope this helps!
