I open a large can of pureed pumpkin and freeze it in ice cube trays. Then I remove it from the trays and store it in a vacuum zip lock bag in the freezer. The cubes can be quickly defrosted for use.

To make it more palatable, try adding a bit of bacon grease or oil from a can of sardines -- the kind I get are in olive oil. It wont take much to flavor the pumpkin puree, so a little should go a long way. I also add a bit of EV coconut oil for additional nutrients.

Pumpkin yogurt, available @ Dominick's / Safeway Now ( Nov. 13 11 ) thru 12-31 every year. Can also be made from scratch ( soy, almond, coconut )

My cat loves it, other flavours too.

3 x a week 1 teaspoon

Use plain canned pumpkin. Pie filling has things in it that are not good for cats. I mix tuna with the pumpkin and my cats go crazy for it.

After purchasing the commercial product to attempt to cure kitty of excessive fur in her digestive tract, and having her like it maybe twice, I decided to search for a natural way of helping her. Pumpkin to the rescue! My mother was a bit skeptical at first (its her kitty), but I am happy to report all is well in litter land. It works, and she doesn't even balk at it being added to her food, so why bother with the malt that isn't so attractive to them and quite a bit more expensive than pumpkin. Yeah for Earth Clinic and some wonderful NATURAL cures!!

I've had cats all my life & have been dealing with their hairballs(yuck!) forever. Now I mix canned Pumpkin with a bit of canned Cat Food & feed both of my cats a spoonful every day, & no more hairballs! It works great & one of my cats has long fluffy fur! It also keeps them from getting worms.
