A Tuesday Toy Of Desire

A British Army style Cat O' Nine Tails

This is the closest modern equivalent that I have seen of those British army cat o' nine tails, that you see in the old illustrations. Notice the long handle and the knotted ends to the tails. It is not just the cat that I would like to try, it is the whole ceremony. The battalion paraded on three sides of a square with the triangle and punishment detail forming the fourth side. There is only two things that I would like to change from the original scenario. 1/The real cats would have their tips hardened to deliberately draw blood and cause life long scaring, I would not like life long scaring, so no hardened tips thank you. 2/ The punishment was usually delivered by male drummers of the regiment, I would prefer female drummers but still in the period uniform :)
Tied to the triangle the drums rolling as two drummer girls deliver the 300 lashes and an officer keeps count, as the whole battalion watches. The thought of it makes my spine tingle.
