To any nutritional changes that can affect the health conditions, but how it does and if it does depends on the individual cat. In general things they worry about are fat towards toxins so it’s good to be careful of the kind of fat you feed.
Certainly that can increase weight in your kitty cat and the other big concern is too much fat can trigger a cat to symptoms of pancreatitis which is an irritation of one of the organs that can cause vomiting. Doesn’t happen that oftenly in cats, but when it does your best bet is to test them, take them to the vet and make sure everything is okay otherwise and be cautious of how much fat or the balance of any nutrient in the diet.
