Is plain boiled chicken broth safe for my cat? What about calories?

Question

Sometimes I boil a couple of chicken legs until they’re cooked (like making soup) without any salt or spices, and I give the broth to Chatran to drink a couple of times a day. He loves it. Is it ok to do this or will it harm him? I don’t think it’s many calories except maybe some fat from the chicken skin.

As long as Chatran doesn’t have any special dietary problems (such as being prone to pancreatitis, or having food allergies), this is just fine and a really fun healthy treat for him! Just make sure you keep an eye on his weight, as the fat from the boiled chicken will be adding some calories to his daily intake. :-) Hope this helps!
