I wouldn't call the motel walkway y'all are talking about a catwalk; the distinguishing characteristic of a catwalk, by definition, is that it's *narrow; like those above the stage, or the pathway along the side of a bridge. these are better suited to cats walking! (we have a brick fascia on the lower portion of the house that creates a narrow ledge at window level on the first floor. cats (and squirrels) like to walk on it. we call *that a catwalk.)
