Yes, that's perfectly safe for cats. Plain canned pumpkin is a useful fiber source and can help with both constipation and mild diarrhea. Just make sure it's pure pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling which contains sugar and spices. Offer it plain, watch for any unusual vomiting, and contact your own vet if you see any concerning signs.
