Why not use the dictionary definition?
The term "catgut" can be somewhat misleading because it does not actually come from cats. Catgut is a type of cord or string traditionally made from the intestines of various animals. Although it was historically made from the intestines of cats, nowadays it is primarily made from the intestines of sheep or goats.
The name "catgut" likely originated from the word "kit" or "kit string," which refers to a small violin. This may have been a misunderstanding, leading to the term "catgut."
It's important to note that no harm is caused to cats while producing catgut, as it does not involve using their intestines. So, the answer to your question is that we get catgut from the intestines of sheep or goats. Other animals such as cows, pigs, and horses may also be used in some cases, but sheep and goats are the most common sources.
