Welcome to Arboren CAThedrals
Makers of bespoke catios and skybridges
Whether it's an elevated walkway, a climbable tower, or your idea sketched on a napkin, we build intentionally and artistically for cats.
Parts of a Catio
Gallery
The “Pawthorne” Bridge
14 feet long, modeled after the Hawthorne Bridge — the first of three skybridges linking the Dicks' backyard catio towers.
The “Taillikum” Bridge
Runs along the fence line toward the back of the property, connecting one catio tower to the next.
The “CAThedral” Bridge
Closes the loop back to the porch catio — 60 feet of connected skybridge in total.
Catio Towers
Eight-foot transition towers where bridges meet, sized for climbing, lounging, and birdwatching.
Window & Door Cat-Flap Inserts
Soft flap inserts built into window frames for year-round indoor/outdoor access.
The Full Skybridge Loop
All three bridges and two towers connected into one continuous indoor-outdoor cat highway.
