Close but no cigar libby...cat gut does indeed come from sheep..or horse's

Camel hair is normally squirrel or a combination of other animals...there was a rumour that the word Camel stems from 'Kemmel' who was a dutch painter (canvas not rendering!) who developed the use of these brush and it was a pismernounciation of his name
