In this study, we introduce (pre)cat
--algebroids, as a
generalisation of cat-algebras, and prove the equivalence
between the categories of (pre)cat
--algebroids and
(pre)crossed modules of -algebroids. Moreover, we look over some
immediate consequences of the equivalences and, as an application,
for converting precat
--algebroids into
cat
--algebroids we develop an equivalent method to the
one used for converting precrossed modules into crossed modules of
-algebroids.
Key Words: Cat-algebroids,
precat-algebroids, crossed modules of algebroids, precrossed
modules of algebroids, equivalence of categories, Peiffer ideal.
