Following is an old news item I found in my college library.  What do you think?

-----------------------------------
GRETNA, La., April 11, 1996 -- Veterinarian Dr. Edward Kreiter told a
stunned  audience at the Southwestern Feline Conference today that two
major U.S. food processors use cat vomit in some of their vogurt
preparations.

"Gastromicturates, a bi-cellular component of feline digestive
tracts," said Kreiter, "has been found to enhance the fermentation
process that is an essential precursor of finished yogurt. It is this
component that is part of the vanilla and custard flavored yogurts -
the lighter-hued varieties."

Responding to a question from the audience after his prepared remarks
on 'The Historical Significance of Felinular Domesticity,' the Baton
Rouge specialist cited what he termed privileged corporate data that,
he said, confirms a closely held industry secret.

"I can't divulge the names of these firms at this forum," he
continued, "however, I can tell you with the utmost certitude that
large communities of cats - mostly mixed breeds - are maintained by
these companies from which are harvested great quantities of micturate
for use in the manufacture of brand-name yogurt."

Attempting to calm audience fears, Kreiter stated that the amount of
cat vomit per 4.5-ounce container of yogurt is minuscule, less than
one part per hundred by volume.
