A cat of nine tales is an old pirate tradition.
Pirates who didn't obey the rules ,or something along the lines of that, were locked away in a cell and given a thick piece of rope. This was then picked at to nine strands of rope on one end and the thick end on the other. Once they had finished picking it, they were let out of the cell and whipped many times on the back with it.
