I don't know if this thread had any purpose to start with, but with all of this talk of stuffing cats and mabe even guillotines for certain leaky people at Adobe, I thought I'd throw in a historical context. On British Navy sailing ships and some others, flogging was somewhat of a last resort for discipline, bringing a man before the mast so to speak. Therefore, such discipline was done with some ceremony, and the whip, or cat of nine tails, was carried in a purple or red velvet bag. Prior to the flogging the cat was let out of the bag. So there ya go.
