VALLETTA — In a groundbreaking decision, a newly published research study has officially classified Maltese cats as ‘senior citizens’, thereby granting them discounts at all local pastizzerias. This monumental shift has sent shockwaves through both cat owners and the food industry alike.
As the news broke, a group of feisty felines from all corners of Malta gathered outside a popular pastizzeria, demanding the introduction of self-service kiosks. With slogans like “Pastizzi for the Pussies” and “No More Plain, We Want Truffle!” they meowed for access to gourmet pastizzi flavors.

”Uwejjah, our cats deserve the best! They’ve earned their freedom to choose their pastizzi!” exclaimed Marija, a cat activist holding a sign that read, “Feline Fine Discounts.” In stark contrast to their usual aloof demeanor, these cats surprisingly organized themselves effectively, employing a solid campaign strategy driven by the timeless appeal of food.
“Are we going to sit idly by while humans dictate our pastizzi choices? Mela, not anymore!”
Local pastizzerias are now bracing for an influx of cats with outdated identification cards, hoping to avoid chaotic scene reminiscent of a Maltese village festa. Pawlu, owner of the renowned ‘Pastizzi Paradise’, mentioned, “I never thought I’d see the day when I’d have to check a cat’s ID for a discount, but here we are!“
This law is set to revolutionize the way Maltese citizens view their feline companions; cats have been our ancient buddies and now they’re our pastizzi partners in crime! At press time, a group of particularly disgruntled cats began drafting a letter to the Planning Authority to demand a cat-themed pastizzeria, complete with cozy napping spaces and a dedicated truffle pastizzi flavor.
