Fatty liver disease can occur in cats due to genetic disorders or become of an illness already in the cat’s body. Fatty liver disease often develops when large amounts of fat are sent to the liver to be processed. The fat is sent to the liver because the body thinks the cat is starving. The cat may either be malnourished, have a genetic disorder, or be sick and not eating. All of these scenarios can trigger fatty liver disease. The problem is that too much fat is sent to the liver and liver overloads and shuts down no longer processing fat or flushing out toxins as designed. Other possible causes for fatty liver disease can include cancer, diabetes, pancreatitis, kidney disease, or even other types of liver disease.
