My pregnant cat is throwing up. Are pumpkin seeds and baths safe?

Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Female | spayed | 5 months and 24 days old

My cat is pregnant and I want to know if it’s still safe to give her pumpkin seeds and baths. She has been throwing up in the morning and I heard pumpkin seeds can help with digestion. Are both safe for expecting cats?

While pumpkin seeds are not toxic to cats I don't know that I would recommend feeding them often and I am not aware of any digestive benefits. If she is vomiting frequently this may not be normal and you should see your veterinarian to make sure everything is okay. Baths should be fine to continue as long as she doesn't get too distressed during bathing.
