I PM'd you.
I know I haven't been getting notifications and others have said the same, so I thought best to post here as it's easy to visit and not notice you have something in your inbox..

The name catgut is confusing. There are two explanations for the mix up.

Catgut is an abbreviation of the word cattle gut. Gut strings are made from sheep or goat intestines, in the past even from horse, mule or donkey intestines.

Otherwise it could be from the word kitgut or kitstring. Kit meant fiddle, not kitten.
