can cats eat pumpkin puree

Cats can safely eat pumpkin puree as long as it is plain, cooked, and unsweetened pumpkin puree without any added sugars, spices, or flavorings. Plain pumpkin puree can be beneficial for cats, especially for digestive health, as it is rich in fiber that helps with constipation, diarrhea, and hairball prevention. It can be given in small amounts, either mixed into their wet food or offered straight as a treat. However, pumpkin pie filling or pumpkin products with spices and sugars should be avoided as they can be harmful to cats.
