My dad fed our 4-week-old kittens today...with cereal and milk. Like, the kind that humans eat. I wasn't home when he fed them. Are they going to get diarrhea?
Thanks

Did he feed them just a little? Or a whole bowl?

If he fed them a whole bowl they probably will, but it shouldn't last forever. Once it's out of their system they should be fine. If he gave them just a tiny bit, it shouldn't phase them.

I agree. Also, if it was a whole bowl, I'd look into getting them some kitten chow, if there's none in the house.

You'll know soon enough.
As you're aware, dairy and cereal really aren't healthy for kittens. When it's time to supplement Mom cat's milk, you will be wise to select a soft kitten food made especially for them.
