I have a cat about four months old, around five to ten pounds. He ingested about two inches of onion, in a strip. Is he in any danger?

He may experience some digestive upset but a one-time consumption shouldn't cause any problems with anemia. If he gets sick, refuses to eat, becomes lethargic, starts vomiting or has diarrhea, get him in to see your vet as soon as possible.
