Humans are not cats. There is no data supporting any of what you mention in people. Protien is perfectly safe. Are you going to argue we die without carbs next?

  The dose makes the poision in everything - it is just a statement that it isn't perfectly safe and nothing is. Oxygen can cause cancer. The point was that if even a far more specialized species could have problems with proteins there is a mechanism for damage from too much - what that ammount may be is another question. Just like too much carbohydrates can overwhelm the pancreas too much protein may overwhelm the kidneys and liver. I had done extensive feline research recently for a fiction side project and will give my links - I had one that described the metabolic process specifically.

    Bizarrely and disappointingly I'm finding less than expected when looking through my history.
