Can human baby formula be used in place of KMR? Ideally I am assuming no. But someone emailed me asking and I highly doubt they are going to go out and buy KMR as expensive as it is. What harm can come from using baby formula?

I'm no authority on this, so am hoping other posters who are will have more info; but I DO know that cow's milk frequently causes diarrhea in cats and diarrhea, of course, can have life-threatening consequences because of dehydration and other issues.

yes of course, I didn't even think of that. These babies are 5 days old. I don't think of powdered formula as real milk but i suppose unless it is lactose free, it is right?

I saw a recipe for homemade kitty formula that uses baby soy formula as one of the ingredients, and added a few other things lik eegg yolks, but I can't remember where I saw the recipe.
