Jayce has runny stools so he is scheduled for the vet on Thursday to check that out, as well as his face.
So I plan on giving him some pumpkin to help with the stools. So, here are a few of my questions:

1. How much should I feed him?
2. Is there an amount that is too much?
3. Can I give some to my other cats without harming them?
4. What do I do with the leftover pumpkin?
I have a big can and I imagine I cant give it all to the cats

Really overdosing on pumpkins by cats is rare.
As far as I know, there are no pumpkin withdrawal clinics anywhere in the world. I give mine a teaspoon of pumpkin 3 times a day in canned food, and I start all my kittens out with a tiny amount so by the time they are adults they just lick it off the spoon. It really does help the digestive tract and the cats do seem to like it. I store mine in a air tight container in the :censor::censor::censor::censor: and it keeps for about 5 days.

Thanks Hissy
I guess I will just start the can and try to feed it all to them over the next few days

I suppose I sound funny... I was just worried I would give them too much and they would get sicker!
