soy milk should not replace water.
But as a small treat it should not be a problem.
Large does of soy milk could cause irritation and problems.

Contrary to popular belief, most cats become
lactose intolerant shortly after being weaned.
They much prefer water. So, I don't think I
would give a cat any milk at all.

"We would not recommend feeding your cat soy milk in place of fresh water or as the major ingredient in her diet...However, if your cat likes a taste of soy milk as an occasional treat, it shouldn't cause her any harm—just keep the portion small."

I know that cats stomaches are very simular to a human stomache. Some humans are lactose intolerant and have to drink soy milk so I would imagine that it might be simular for a cat to have the same problem.

I read on the ASPCA website that it okay for cats to drink soy milk, but it's not reccomended as an all the time thing. Soy milk can be concitered as a "treat" for cats and "treats" should only make about 10precent of their food intake during the day. Hopefully that helped a little bit.
