Lol - :):D

You got bright ideas and a tasty inspiration (err "fishy" - if referring to an "ichthyophagous" appetite).

Sorry, I could not find the English version of the "Pizza con sardine" or "Pizza con le sarde":

If you are interested (that is for all here), I will translate it - lol.

Oh Marianne that is SO funny! I did not know cat would eat pizza; must be the cheese? I know they like cheese...those little guys were really urgent about it...the little one who was growling?

@Virginia

Lol - indeed, but cats can have different preferences too (pizza might not be the healthiest), and what they like most is - usually - fish.
