Catgut suture is absorbable - the body breaks it down by phagocytosis, eventually leaving no trace that it was ever there. Therefore, catgut is typically used in situations where the sutures will never be looked at again, much less removed by hand. Theoretically, catgut sutures could be removed in the same fashion as any other suture - cutting between the knot and the rest of the suture and removing the remnants.

The malformations caused by premature closure of the cranial sutures are, collectively, called craniostenosis. These take several different forms, depending on which suture closes prematurely.
Most veterinarians use sutures that dissolve now a days due to the fact that most animals do not want to sit still to get the sutures removed. And those will take about 4 weeks or so to completely dissolve.
