cat gut stings are made from sheep, bull, and horse guts not cat guts. Early instruments were strung with gut.
Oh, dude, seriously? No, guitar strings are not made out of cat whiskers. They're usually made of materials like steel, nylon, or bronze. Can you imagine trying to tune a guitar with whiskers? That would be purr-fectly ridiculous.
Classical guitar or cat-gut string melodies with accompanying instrumentation.
A violin has four strings, E, A, D, G; made from cat gut and wire. The bow does not have strings, its is made of horse hair, normally taken from the tail.
That depends on the guitar! On a Tenor guitar there are four strings, on a standard guitar there are six strings, and there are twelve strings on a twelve string guitar.
If by "classic acoustic guitar" you mean the small bodied, slotted-headstock type of guitar commonly called simply a "classical" guitar, the answer is an emphatic NO. Any type of steel strings on a true classical guitar will ruin it. Classical guitars must be strung with nylon or gut strings only.
An acoustic guitar with steel strings (as opposed to a classical guitar which has nylon or gut strings).

No, tennis rackets are not actually strung with cat gut and never have been. Cat gut is a shortened way of saying cattle gut. The original gut used would've been from a cow, sheep or pig. These days, it's going to be some kind of synthetic material.

there are six strings on a guitar
A normal Acoustic/Electric guitar has 6 strings, and a normal bass guitar has 4 strings. There are also guitars with more strings, i.e. a bass guitar with 5 strings.
Animal intestines, twisted tightly and dried. That's why they are still called "gut" stings sometimes. Strings of brass and bronze broke easily, and so gut was the best choice until steel wire strings became popular in the later half of the 17th century. Nylon is a fairly recent invention.
