You have a typo in category1 btw.

If I follow correctly you have this structure:

\ controllers
 - home.php
 \ category1 \
  - cat1.php

If so, you confused yourself with your route:

$route['category1 '] = 'category1/cat1/index';

Need to define the method index, this is based on your 'cat1.php' file being:

class Cat1 extends CI_Controller{
   function index() {
      $this->load->view('cat1');
   }
}

I wrote about this, as people usually get confused with routes in CI:
