[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 305515, member: 1963"] Pumpkin does work on kitties as well if you can get them to eat it. You would probably want to give no more than a tsp or so, though. Dogs are able to handle a lot more in terms of vegetable foods. Cats are obligate carnivores, so you want to be a bit more careful with them. Back before the special foods, we used to feed a bit of pumpkin to help cats with hairball problems move the hair on through. Interesting cat fact: Cats are not only unable to digest nearly all grains, but they lack the ability to metabolize sucrose and fructose. In fact, they can't even TASTE sweetness at all. They don't have the taste receptors. [/QUOTE]
