Mamma meow-a! A worried pet owner discovered her cat had a strange condition after the cat became obsessed with Italian treats such as pizza, pasta and mog-zarella.
Michelle Townley, from Swindon, Wiltshire, initially thought tabby Stan was just being mischievous when he started stealing and scoffing dishes like meatballs and spaghetti Bolognese.
But when six-dinner Stan appeared to develop more of a penchant for Mediterranean meals, veterinary nurse Michelle, 40, suspected something was more seriously wrong, knowing cats would rarely eat anything covered in tomato.
After rushing the kitty to the vets, medics discovered Stan’s sudden flare for exotic flavours was actually due to hyperthyroidism, a glandular disorder – and his strange eating habits had actually saved his life by revealing the condition.
