This cat’s strange obsession with pizza, pasta, and mozzarella saved her life
When tabby cat Stan started stealing bits of Italian food from his owner’s plate, Michelle Townley thought he was just being naughty.
It turned out Michelle, 40, was correct. After taking Stan to the vet it was discovered that his sudden taste for Italian flavours was due to hyperthyroidism, a glandular disorder.Stan, 15, now needs regular medication to control his unusual cravings but since beginning treatment has made a full recovery.
As well as his change in eating habits, Stan was also drinking more water, becoming quite irritable and less affectionate, but most worryingly he was losing weight – despite his insatiable appetite.
