Autumn is approaching, and it can only mean one thing: everything pumpkin! It’s bound to be part of our snacks and sips this season, and you might be tempted Share a portion of your pumpkin-flavored treat with your kittenalso.
Unfortunately, there’s nothing safe about sharing a slice of pumpkin pie or a sip of pumpkin spice latte with your cat. There are some holiday spices that are a must-have for our pets, like nutmeg. Plus, ingredients like sugar, whole milk, and butter can be a hazard to anyone’s diet — especially our oblivious carnivorous cats.
That’s why we embarked on research to create a cat-friendly, spiceless pumpkin coffee for cats. For this late summer and early fall treatment, we’ve combined nutritious pure pumpkin with frozen bone broth for a refreshing taste your cat will love.
Of course, we also omitted the coffee in this recipe because Caffeine is toxic to pets. Our taste-testing cats Atlas and Lyra didn’t seem to miss it at all!

Guide
- If adding cat-friendly “whipping cream,” prepare it by placing the small mixing bowl and whisk in the freezer for about 10-15 minutes. Meanwhile, swell the gelatin.
- In a small microwaveable bowl, add 1 teaspoon of unflavored gelatin to 1 teaspoon of cold water. Let stand, about five minutes, until thickened and gel-like.
- While the gelatin is blooming, make an unseasoned pumpkin latte by putting pumpkin puree, dehydrated goat’s milk, and water in a blender or food processor. Add ice or frozen bone broth, mix and add ice until desired texture is achieved. Place in the refrigerator and prepare the “fresh cream” topping.
- In the freezer-cooled mixing bowl, mix the goat’s milk and 1/8 cup water. Mix with an electric mixer until frothy.
- Heat the expanded gelatin in the microwave for a few seconds, just until the mixture is liquid but not hot.
- Still whisking the goat’s milk, slowly add in the softened gelatin. Beat until frothy and thickened, then place in the freezer for about 5 minutes to form soft peaks.
- Pour the seasoned pumpkin latte into small serving cups or your cat’s favorite bowl. Top with a box of “whispered cream”.
