I had to look this one up. It’s the 3rd line of Mother Goose nursery rhyme, “Peter, Peter, pumpkin eater.” Internet article gives racy origins to this one -e.g. pumpkin shell = chastity belt; or murdered unfaithful wife’s corpse hidden in pumpkin shell. Back in high school, a classmate did a report of the backstory of seemingly harmless nursery rhymes - she didn’t include this one in her oral report.

Can’t imagine the kitty would enjoy the gooeyness of the pumpkin innards

The dog’s look tells the tale of the cat.
