Greg,
<br> No, I do not think you are rigging the cat wrong. There is no use for this three inch long item. The only thing I could imagine it being is when you are stepping the mast, it might be a extension for the bridle so you lever it down when you get off the trampoline. I thought it could have been extra rudder pins, but they are much much longer. Well, happy sailing.
