That really to me sounds like a horrible idea. However, the two knotty boys have a video on youtube to make a rope whip. You could do this with hemp rope probably, and possibly achieve what you want.

I really dont understand why you would want that in hemp, but.......you must be in england or an english colony with your bloody, zounds and gods holy trousers shit.... (LOL, austrailia or the like) and hemp should be easily gotten in rope. go to the library and get your equivalent to a girl scout book (baden-powell with tits) and you begin by making the weave for the key chain (I believe it is called four-in-hand) and thats the handle, after that, you start weaving in your 5 more for the cat..........

lol.

As I understand it, the british navy back in the sailing days used to use a piece of howser rope partially unbraided (into 9, actually) for onboard transgressions. The 'cat' was afterward thrown overboard.

So, to answer the OP, I believe that hemp rope CAN be used to make a cat of 9 tails, but I don't know if it would cut, abrade, leave splinters or cause other not-feel-good ouchies. Most farm supply places should have rolls of hemp rope. You might find some howser rope if you live anywhere near a shipyard, but most ships use chain and cable nowadays, unless there's some old school sailing folks around.

I got some 1" thick soft nylon rope to make my matched rope floggers.

serve and parcel with the lay...but

it was hawser, most certainly, and even unlaid, it was heavily tarred, and it would sting and salve at the same instant.

It was doubtfully other than raw, and was not a softened rope.

There is an old sailor's song

One set of the lyrics go

"What do you do with a drunken sailor?
What do you do with a drunken sailor?
What do you do with a drunken sailor early in the morning?

Well you put him in bed with the Captain's daughter
Put 'em in the bed with the Captain daughter
You put 'em in the bed with the Captain's daughter, early in the morning"

The "Captain's Daughter" is not a female, but instead is that quasi-cat of nine.

Hemp rope is around for people who like to do Shibari with it. Did I spell it right? That sort is not as bad as the feed 'n seed variety, but I wouldn't care to be hit with this creation and I thought I had some pretty twisted ideas of pain as fun on Saturday Night.
Anyhoo, the artsy hemp for knots would weave into a great looking cat, and good luck. Seems like it would scar pretty badly. Ick. Waste of nerve endings.
