Cats are whips with defined and usually weighted falls. They are also categorized as flails. Floggers usually have many falls that are uniform in length and size and are not weighted.

I would call it a flogger more than a whip.. oh my god, maybe it's because I'm so fucking tired of seeing ten thousand floggers on EF called whips so if I see any more stuff miscategorized as a whip I freak out. I know a cat o nine tails is still technically a whip but the general whip term is just so abused that I'm a bit protective of it unless it's the really traditional basic one-strand-only term. I'd be alright categorizing it as flails or as just a general whipping device..

And the debate continues... It's like the epic chicken or the egg.

It's a whip. That's why the technical term is actually "cat of nine tails WHIP." And yes, they do call many floggers on this site whips, but what can you do? Those are floggers - cat of nine tails are whips.

I see a cat...as a whip. I consider a flogger to be more "gentle" and less stinging in BDSM play. When we are finished my bod shows more evidence from a whip, such as a cat...then from a flogger.
I enjoy both but for me a flogger is more of a warm-up.

I voted both because, honestly, I've seen a lot of them and some are quite whippy - as a cat SHOULD be - and some are pretty simple floggers with 9 tails that someone is calling a cat.
I think, however, that both floggers and whips are... whips. A flogger is a multi-tailed whip. A single tail is a single tailed whip. A cat is a 9 tailed whip.
We just get too picky sometimes, trying to box everything into its own little box.

I think it's considered both, at least in my opinion.

I'd say both, definitely, because I can't decide.

I've always considered it to be a whip if it has braided lashes; a flogger if it has flat lashes, but then again, I've only spent a decade or so making them! Let the debate continue.

I think it might depend on the length for me. a shorter one is a flogger, but a longer one is a whip in my opinion.

I've always thought of it as a flogger.

My opinion is that it is a whip.

Going by the olde worlde term...e, to be flogged -is- to be whipped.
Both.
TO THE YARDARM WITH ALL'O YA!

Could really be either

I always considered floggers to be... uh... a class of whip. So I chose "both."
