From my readings, cats are subject to 5 liver diseases. With the exception
of "fatty liver" disease vets limit protein intake. In "fatty liver" a high
protein diet is recommended.

Why don't you speak with your vet? He'll be able to tell you what type of
liver disease your cat has and why a low protein diet has been described.

Best wishes.
