When ketchup first came out, the term was trademarked (kind of like Rollerblades). Other manufacturers couldn't use the term, so they used catsup instead.

I have no idea let me wikipedia it......
Ok
Ketchup (or less commonly catsup) is a popular condiment, usually made with ripened tomatoes. The basic ingredients in modern ketchup are tomatoes, vinegar, sugar, salt, allspice, cloves, and cinnamon. Onions, celery, and other vegetables are frequent additions. In the UK, Australia, South Africa, Malaysia, and New Zealand, their vinegar-less variant of ketchup is commonly referred to as tomato sauce or simply red sauce.
Ketchup has not always been made out of tomatoes. It started out as a general term for sauce, typically made of mushrooms or fish brine with herbs and spices. Mushroom ketchup is still available in some countries, such as the UK. Some popular early main ingredients include anchovy, oyster, lobster, walnut, kidney bean, cucumber, cranberry, lemon, and grape.
The largest major commercial distributors of ketchup in the United States are the H. J. Heinz Company, ConAgra Foods (manufacturer of Hunt's brand), Del Monte Foods, Birds Eye Foods (manufacturer of Brooks Ketchup) and Red Gold.

I like to think that "Catsup" is the redneck version of "Ketchup."

"Ketchup" is a registered trademark. "Catsup" is the competitions' name that comes closest in pronunciation.

They're the same thing. The only difference is the spelling. It's kind of like how theatre and theater are the same, but spelled differently.
