Kittens get calcium from getting nursed by their mothers. Adult cats really don't need milk since they're fully developed (mostly) unless the vet says so.

Yes, calcium is an essential mineral for cats as it helps maintain healthy bones and teeth. Cats can get calcium from their diet, typically from sources such as bone meal, dairy products, and fish. It's important to ensure that cats have a balanced diet to meet their calcium needs.
