How do pumpkins affect cats during the fall season?

Pumpkins can affect cats during the fall season if they ingest parts of the pumpkin plant or fruit. While small amounts of cooked pumpkin can be safe and even beneficial for cats, consuming raw pumpkin or other parts of the plant can cause digestive issues such as upset stomach or diarrhea. It's important to monitor your cat's access to pumpkins and consult a veterinarian if you have concerns about their health.
