There are many causes of cat liver failure: the cat may suffer liver disease such as hepatitis or cirrhosis, or its body may be harmed by toxic substances that damage liver function. Improper diet can also cause liver failure, for example eating too much fat.
In addition, diseases such as cholangitis, feline infectious peritonitis, and lymphoma can also lead to liver failure in cats.
