Holding hands like teenagers, Harold and Bev stroll between the withered vines of the pumpkin patch, both grinning down at the ground in front of them. Bev wears her cream patterned sweater with jeans, and Harold has added a moss-green knit cap to his matching one. The reason for their smiles is marching ahead of them: Duchess, the seal point Ragdoll, is leading the way with her plumed tail held high and her blue eyes gazing off to the side, stepping carefully over vines and fallen leaves. Plump orange pumpkins dot the dirt all around, and a watering can sits by the fence at the edge of the garden.

Pumpkins are a fall favorite, and it's natural to wonder whether they're safe for pets. Plain, cooked pumpkin is generally considered safe for cats in small amounts, and some vets recommend it for mild digestive issues because of its fiber. Raw pumpkin, stems, and rind are harder to digest, though, and carved pumpkins that have started to rot can grow mold that may make pets sick. Canned pie filling isn't a good choice either, since it contains sugar and spices. If you're thinking of adding pumpkin to your cat's diet, a quick chat with your vet about the right amount is a smart step.

Duchess seems to have picked a direction, and Harold and Bev are happy to follow. Whichever pumpkin she chooses, it's sure to be the best one in the patch.
