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.

Yeah.... Over the years I've had several clients ask me to do that. I always refused.... They knew nothing about the bars underneath until I pulled out a mirror and showed them.

I've seen it too. It's probably happened to quite a few of them sadly.
