Cat ( 9 tails whip)

The cat is the “heir” of sea rope cats and special executioner tools with hard ends made of hard leather, which could be used to leave b****y traces. Today it is a multi-tailed whip made of leather. Design of cats. A cat has from three to nine tails, but may have more. The handle is hard. The length of the handle is 20-50 cm, the tails are 40-80 cm. Of course, a modern cat does not have hard ends for scratching. There are cats with round and flat weave. Flat braided crampons are softer, but can leave stronger marks due to their ribbing. Round braided ones are stiffer and heavier. The type of attachment to the handle is also important: the tails can come out of the tightest grip or its flexible extension. There are also options with a movable transition section (for example, a ring). The ends of the tails also matter: they can end in a fairly soft bun of “terry” or a harder slap. There are also cats with knots along the entire length of the tail. Finally, the diameter and length of the tails determine the f***e of the blow. Working as a cat in action. This device is quite versatile: on the one hand, it is a more serious tool than a flogger, and on the other hand, it does not require such skill as long-length ones. When struck, the cat acts mainly in depth, since the weapon is heavy and covers a fairly large area of ​​the body. But its superficial effect is also very strong. Depending on its structure, the grapple can be used to deliver a variety of strikes, including pulling - for which it was historically intended. They usually work with this device on an already warmed up body. Paired cats, designed to be used with two hands, are also popular, as are paired floggers.
