Is canned chicken broth okay for cats?

I remember reading the onions are all that good for cats, and one of my
friends was thinking about making something with canned chicken broth.
Are the leftovers okay for the cat? She was worried about hurting them.
We both know that onions and carrots and celery are used in the making
of a real chicken stock/broth, but is it enough to hurt the cats? It
never occurred to me, since none of my cats (so far) ate people food.
Her cats do.

I would imagine the amount of onion powder they would actually ingest
if she's just using the broth as an ingredient would be negligible.
They'd have to have a steady diet of the broth itself before they
suffered any effects from it. IMO. The sodium content might be an
issue though.

I agree. I don't see why chicken broth would be an issue for a one-time-only
treat.

I'd call and check the vet though. The vet would be the best one to
determine what would be appropriate for his or her patient. I know since
ours doesn't have any digestive problems or health related issues, our vet
would probably ok it. But it may be different if the cat has already had
complications of any type.
