Ok, I did a search on catlines. Someone suggested a nautical theme however in looking up various terms used aboard ships I found only ratlines, the rope ladders used to get crewmen aloft in the rigging. We see these most frequently on square rigged ships.
I found nothing at all on catlines. Maybe Arthur will get more information out of Chris. Or someone could ask Dan Larson who makes gut strings. This is an interesting site he's put up on the subject of making gut strings; http://gamutstrings.com/string_making.htm Regards, Craig To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
