Pumpkins and cats

[Lucky, Fluffy & Yoshi]

Hello to all! I've been reading this wonderful site now for awhile, just never posted until now.

A couple of weeks ago I bought some of those mini Pumpkins home and put them on the counter. Well all was well until I found one several rooms away, looking pretty awful I might add. Apparently this poor pumpkin has been bitten, knocked around and who know's what else. Yoshi, my 1 year old Flame-point Siamese is the culpret...or so I think. I guess I need to know if pumpkins are bad for cats, I already know that cat's ARE bad for pumpkins!! Yoshi seems to be fine and apparently this has been going on for a couple of weeks now. It just amazes me what he gets into! We have 2 other cats and they were never this adventerous, curious, playful, etc.
Thanks for any help.

Bunny, first of all...Welcome to Pet Talk! That is too funny that you brought up the subject of pumpking, but on another thread, a vet suggested pumpkin mix for constipation! So, my guess would be that your baby is fine and pumpking is not bad for kitties!!!
On a side note, when I worked at Wolf Park, we would give pumpkins to the wolves as treats and they LOVED them!! Not sure what it is about pumpkins...but animals seem to like them!

Pumpkins are actually very good for cats! Let him go for it!
