As one who hates cats in general (although I can tolerate a few
individuals) I was pleased to hear that "cats" and "vomit" sound

Yeah, it is for the town. There are no mushrooms in the beer. By the way,
the Czech word for mushroom is "Hobie" or something very similar (at least
that's what it sounds like).

Without cats, the Bavarian Purity law would have to include rodent turds

By the way Pilsen is the german way of spelling the city of Plzen the
home of what in the west is known as Pilsner Urquell, in Plzen it is
known as Prazdroj (translation) "ancient source" and that it is.
