I need historical details for a novel and no animals will be harmed in the process of writing!

Were animal guts actually used for the strings of musical instruments...?

What was the process used to prepare them?

I don't even want my characters to deliberately kill a cat even if it's only fiction, but my editor won't accept it if the scientific details are wrong. Would roadkill work...?

I've read they were also used for tennis rackets. would that really work...? How strong would cat guts be?

Does anybody still do this today?

Details, please, don't just give me links. Thanks to all serious answerers!

What is the best method? (and yes, price matters) I know that a reversal is about $6K, not covered by insurance and not 100%. What are some other methods and costs? Looking for some real experience here if possible!!!!

My car started making clunking noise in the front right tire area whenever I would drive over bumps or cracks on the roads. Now, it is still making those noises, and after driving my car for about 20 to 30 minutes, and accelerating the car from very low speeds, there is a weird kinda grinding noise coming from the front right tire under kinda hard acceleration for about 3 seconds and then it disappears. What can this be? Is it dangerous? I hope it is not the wheel bearing is bad. However, if it was a bad wheel bearing, wouldnt the noise always be present and not just present only after a kinda hard acceleration from low speeds for only 2 to 3 seconds only and then the noise disappears?? Oh yes, while accelerating, when the noise comes, if I would let go fo the gas pedal, the noise goes away, until I step on the pedal again kinda hard then it comes again... Any help would be much appreciated.

I'm already on bed rest because my first son was born at 31 weeks. When I went for a checkup today (26 weeks, 5 days), my blood pressure was elevated to 132/86, which is considered to be in the prehypertension range. My doctor wants to see me on Monday for a retest and I have to have a diabetes blood test tomorrow morning. I did some research online and it says "preeclampsia is marked by three specific symptoms during pregnancy: water retention (with swelling particularly in the feet, legs, and hands); high blood pressure; and protein in the urine." I have the swelling in my fingers and toes, now the high blood pressure and am not sure about protein in the urine yet. Has anyone had these issues (premature 1st baby and now BP issues with 2nd) and had a healthy baby? Or even a full term baby? My doctor wants the results of the blood work and Monday's BP readings to see if everything's ok and if anything should be done, but I can't help but worry now. I never had this with my first.

I am composing a business letter.
I need a correct word to describe "the floating of toxins into the air."
I want to use INERT, but that word is not as precise as I need.
I am trying to remember the word that both my High school Physics Teacher and my Biology Teacher used 30 years ago, but that was 30 years ago as I cannot even remember what I did THIS MORNING!
Thanks for all HELPFUL replies.

I dont understand the games being played in this farce of the people of PuertoRico ,to [vote] for staus , statehood [ death ] Independence[ dignity] or commonweath, [colony]. Is all farce! Why has congress not resolve the issue with dignity , as pertains to laws of the United nations? be sincere! No excuses! Spain never did sign the Paris Treaty of 1898, so the United States in accordance with international laws, must act accordingly!!
