I've seen it done before on the collegiate level.  It 
serves the same purpose as in football - keep the other 
guy from stealing your signs.

Well of course.  Cats also don't eat things like durian 
and THEN figure out it's not something they shouldn't 
have eaten.

Cats on the other hand only go for things with protein, 
for the most part.

It didn't owe you much either way.

I've had some lemon shortbreads that were really good. 
They're supposed to be made from as low a gluten content 
flour as possible anyway.

I'd try the citrus one for certain.  If you haven't tried 
the green tea, don't bother; it doesn't taste like 
anything in particular.  You might want to take a crack 
at Siggi's if it turns up though.  It's a low sugar 
Icelandic style strained yogurt that's high protein and 
relatively low carb.
