No, there aren't any bad effects from the high protein, although cats with kidney problems should be fed low protein diets. Cats actually need higher amounts of protein in their food than dogs because they are obligate carnivores (meaning they cannot survive without meat). There are reports, however, that Orijen can cause stinky poop in cats.
