pumpkin is one of those wonder foods that works for both constipation
AND diarrhea--if, as noted, you can get the cat to eat it! oddly
enough, maine coons seem to LOVE it

it's an easy one to try, tho; with everything, some things work with
one cat while others require something else altogether--it's great to
get so many options, tho!

I understand your concern, and it does sound like he's mighty 
uncomfortable.  Try not to panic.  I'm glad you have a vet appointment 
today, if you feel your cat is in an emergency situation, take him to 
the vet right now and tell them you didn't want to wait for your regular 
appointment.  I'm sure they'll squeeze you in if they can.  I just read 
about something you can only get from a vet for constipation, I'm not 
sure if it's actually a prescription, or not.  Ask your vet about it, 
it's called Lactulose.  What is your name?
