Cat o' nine tails

The cat o' nine tails, commonly shortened to the cat, is a type of multi-tailed whip that originated as an implement for severe physical punishment, notably in the Royal Navy and Army of the United Kingdom, and also as a judicial punishment in Britain and some other countries.
==Etymology==
The term first appears in 1695,〔(William Congreve's love for love and first mention of cat o nine tails see page 32 and the fourth dialogue down spoken by Ben ).〕 although the design is much older. It was probably so called in reference to its "claws", which inflict parallel wounds. There are equivalent terms in many languages, usually strictly translating, and also some analogous terms referring to a similar instrument's number of tails (cord or leather), such as the Dutch ''zevenstaart'' (seven tail()), ''negenstaart'' (nine tail()) or the Spanish ''gato de nueve colas''.
