/// THE PROJECT

This is a clean-sheet redesign of the classic cat bridge concept. I modeled this from scratch in Fusion 360 to fix common issues found in older market versions.

• Wider Deck: Expanded to 7 inches to comfortably support larger cats.
• Stronger: Thicker walls and reinforced geometry to prevent warping.
• Stud Spacing: The 16-inch length aligns perfectly with standard wall studs.

/// COMMUNITY CREDITS

A huge shout-out to the makers helping improve this project:

• @GrayLite: Designed the Safety Spacer upgrade to prevent baluster slipping. Highly Recommended!
• @3D_Gridzilla: Created the A1 Mini Profile for smaller printers.

/// INSTALLATION & HARDWARE

• Hardware: Use standard #8 Wood Screws. Always test fit your specific screws against the printed holes before installation to ensure the head sits flush.
• Safety Critical: You MUST mount at least one side into a wall stud. Do not trust drywall anchors with the dynamic weight of a jumping cat.

/// DESIGN RIGHTS & TRUTH

• Reverse Engineering: I referenced existing bridges (like hi_im_sean's) to understand the rope routing mechanics, but no external files were used. Every polygon in this model is original.
• Public Domain: The "suspension bridge" concept was patented by James Finley in 1808. It belongs to the public.
• My Rights: Since I created these files, I own them. I choose to make them Free for Commercial Use so the community doesn't have to deal with restrictive licenses.
