BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a catwalk assembly, and more particularly, to a catheter assembly that can be easily assembled and installed in a space and a size desired by a user.

The Cat Tower is a structure that provides space for cats to climb and dwell, using the habit of cats climbing high and enjoying safety and resting. Cattowers provide playgrounds and resting spaces for cats that are popular as companion animals. As the population of cats increases, interest in the structure of the catwalk increases, and a variety of techniques are being proposed.

 Generally, a catwalk is formed by vertically stacking a plurality of blocks, each having a horizontal plate or a predetermined space, on a column so as to have different height differences and to be installed in a room such as a living room or a room. It takes up a lot of space.
