Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Mediumhair | Female | spayed | 12 years and 2 months old | 12 lbs
My long haired cat has frequently hairball issues. I have been feeding her two teaspoons canned pumpkin every day for a month now. She loves it. Can I keep on doing it? She is diabetic on remission, so no insulin anymore but diabetic canned food. Is pumpkin bad for diabetic cats?

You can keep feeding her the pumpkin, provided it s not pumpkin pie filling. Regular brushing /combing your cat , removing any loose hair from its fur as well as mattes, before they get too big will also make a big difference. If her blood glucose values stay constant, there should be no problem.
