Torture of animals used to be very common at fairs, etc. And the practice of tying two cats' tails together ane hanging them on a line was very common. No clue as to how Kilkenny became name for it. I can still remember hearing about people staying at a gathering "until the last dog was hung".
Thank goodness the shameful practice is rare now.
