Yes, cooked and cooled plain spaghetti squash is safe to share in very small amounts with a pregnant or nursing cat. It's a low-calorie vegetable that adds a bit of fiber and moisture. The key is to make sure it's fully cooked until soft, completely plain with no butter, oil, or spices, and only given as a tiny occasional treat. Her main nutrition must come from a high-quality kitten or all-life-stages food formulated for her increased needs. If she eats a little and seems fine, that's okay, but stop if it causes any diarrhea or changes in her appetite.
