Feeding Your Cat Chicken Liver? Watch Out for Vitamin A Toxicity
Vitamin A is vital for cats but fat-soluble, so excess is stored and builds up to toxic levels — usually from too much liver or stacked supplements. Chronic toxicity causes stiff gait, joint pain, dry skin, coat loss, and gut upset, and the bone damage can be permanent. Feed liver only as an occasional treat and rely on a balanced AAFCO/FEDIAF complete food.
