Yes! It’s not intentional, but due to the way that their livers deal with fat, your cat is able to be starving to death. As opposed to humans who eat, your cat will not become hungry enough that it can’t take a bite. Cats can go without food for long as 24 hours at a time. After this, your cat will begin using their fat stores to power up. If your cat is taking advantage of fat stores for energy may suffer from an illness that is life-threatening called liver lipolysis. It may result in a liver collapse in your cat, which is potentially deadly.

This is when it becomes extremely dangerous for cats. The cat’s body isn’t equipped to convert fat stores into energy. This is why that when they are in the state of starvation up to 24 hours later in which the fat is reduced in size reduces the liver’s function. The liver will expand and then turn become yellow. The result is a Jaundice for your cat. It can also cause yellowing around the eyes and various other issues that can lead to death.
