Catgut (also known as gut) is a type of cord[1] that is prepared from the natural fiber found in the walls of animal intestines.[2] Catgut makers usually use sheep or goat intestines, but occasionally use the intestines of cattle,[3] hogs, horses, mules, or donkeys.[4] Despite the name, catgut is not made from cat intestines.
