The cat of nine tails was a medieval torture device. It was a stick with cords tied to sharp objects and used for whipping criminals. The criminals did whatever was considered worthy of a beating. So if you bad-mouthed authority you'd likely get it, since Romans and others who used this punishment were big on authority. Or if you did something worthy of death, they might torture you before executing you just because they could.
