Two Tower Test
The main reason the Leaf Tree base has been dubbed the Root System is that it allows for a variety of tree setups on the fly. This was our first test of the multi-trunk setup, and we’re excited for Leaf Tree 2 to be ready to bring back to Boo’s house to experiment with even…

Whatchu tasting?
Today we have a sequence of cute Cosmo pictures that were taken by his mom while the inventor and webmaster were out of town on the road trip! Catching those moments when Cosmo forgot to sheathe his tongue after grooming are rare, but so cute!!

Homemade Hammock
While on our roadtrip, Cosmo’s humans had the Leaf Tree Mk1V1.5, and we asked Cosmo’s mom, who is an avid crocheter who has been making the best cat beds from scrap yarn, if she would be able to create a custom hammock insert for the Hammock Leaf—and she certainly delivered! The inventor left a handful…

T-Shirts for Travel
Although we were unable to secure a booth at Open Sauce 2023, we wanted to have some level of branding to hopefully encourage people to ask about the Leaf Tree and get some interest! We initially, admittedly quite last-minute, looked to local print shops in the Shenandoah Valley that could get us some shirts, but…

High-flying Petting
While Boo loves the 6ft assembly of the Leaf Tree, it certainly makes petting your animals much more challenging for those who aren’t vertically inclined! Thankfully, Cosmo’s dad can easily reach, and Boo was very appreciative of the attention while his parent was on the road.

Leaf Tree in Arkansas
A week into our road trip, in July, we were able to stay with the inventor’s amazing family in Arkansas! Leaf Tree Mk2 was all there structurally, but the cover for the Root System, Hammock, and one of the Leafs were still in-progress. We wanted to use the great road trip as an opportunity to…

Leaf Tree for Cat Sitting
Once the humans left on their road trip in early July, Boo immediately designated the top of the Leaf Tree as his spot during dinner time. It gave him a great view of Cosmo’s humans during those busier hours in that space, and the ability to jump on any food opportunities that arose! Since this…

Cosmo in Mk1 V1.5 preceding long-term testing
In early July everyone was back at Cosmo’s house getting ready for a big cross-country trip! Cosmo was kind enough to allow Boo to stay with him—and they got the Leaf Tree Mk1 V1.5 in a 6 foot assembly to lounge and play on while the humans were away! While the Leaf Tree Mk2 was…

Making Leaf Tree Prototype Mk2
In late June of 2023, there was loads of progress on the construction of Leaf Tree Mk2! Caps for the Trunks and the heels and toes of the Leaf cleat assembly were cut from the same piece of poplar board (the softest hardwood, or the hardest softwood (depending on who you ask)), and the Leafs,…
