What should my kitten be drinking?
Milk or water? Something fancier? In this refreshingly funny episode of the Whiskas® Purrcast, Caspurr and Agnes sip their way through the big question: What should kittens be drinking?
Agnes is intrigued by a mysterious glass of milk—because surely every kitten loves milk, right? Not quite. Caspurr quickly clears things up (between dramatic gags at the thought of cow’s milk), explaining why kittens don’t need regular milk, and in fact, most can’t even digest it properly.
This episode uncovers what kittens really need to stay hydrated—mainly fresh water and moisture from their food. And if you’re still tempted to pour your feline friend a splash of milk, make sure it’s one specially formulated for cats.
Packed with practical advice and plenty of playful banter, this episode makes hydration feel anything but dry. Caspurr takes the lead with his calm, slightly exasperated charm, while Agnes asks all the questions you’ve probably wondered (and a few you haven’t).

In the wild, big cats generally live in forests, or on savannahs and prairies. In all these natural environments, water can be hard to find. That’s why big cats’ bodies have evolved to get most of the water they need from their prey.
Your kitten is just the same. However, they still need to drink, so it’s essential to make sure they always have a plentiful supply of fresh water.
Sensitive to taste
Your kitten’s tongue is highly sensitive to both temperature and taste. Just like their big cat cousins, they'll protect themselves by avoiding stagnant water or anything that doesn’t taste fresh. That’s why your kitten may prefer to drink from a puddle in the garden – they can taste the harmless chemicals we use to keep tap water clean!
Don’t worry if your kitten’s drinking habits seem strange – even if they're drinking from a variety of sources, they'll still be getting everything they need.
