Goat milk is the dairy most kittens handle comfortably, and freeze-drying turns it into something that lives in a cupboard rather than a fridge. The process pulls the water out at low temperature instead of cooking it off, so what you are left with is essentially milk in stick form: light, dry, and easy to snap into pieces small enough for a very young mouth.

They are made with goat milk and nothing else added, which is unusual at this price and worth knowing if your cat has reacted badly to flavoured treats before. They stay soft enough to chew from one month old, so they suit a weaning kitten as well as an adult, and they work well as a training reward because they break down small. The tub holds 60g and reseals, which keeps the sticks from going soft in a damp kitchen.

A treat, not a milk replacer. Goat milk sticks are no substitute for kitten formula or a queen's milk, and a hand-reared kitten needs a proper replacer from a vet. Treats of any sort should stay a small fraction of the day's food, with fresh water always available. If your cat is one of the many adults who react badly to dairy, start with a fragment and watch for loose stools before offering any more.

Who it's for: Cat and kitten owners after a soft, single-ingredient reward, and anyone whose cat turns their nose up at meat-based treats.
