Title: pumkin

Have you guys heard of cats eating pumkin? Is it good for them? Or is my person who told me this nuts?

I've heard of it in the context of helping with constipation http://www.felinecrf.org/constipation.htm#fibre

I think it's a more common food in the US so may be more widely used over there?

Really?
Sorry I keep forgetting the differance in our countries. Yes we do have pumpkin in cans.
I don't need any more poop coming out of my cats. But I will keep it in mind when I have sick cat.
Thank you.

Yes, it's good for the digestive system generally.  Can help cats with sensitive tums.
