I believe that the person selecting the title misunderstood a key
word.  Specifically, "cats’ meat" refers to scraps of commonly
consumed large mammals suitable for feeding to cats because they are
deemed less appealing to humans, rather than pieces of cats.  Wasn't a
cat's meat man a friend of Dr. Doolittle?

Still, it does fit in with the basic principle that anythign with
enough garlic butter sauce will taste like garlic butter sauce.
