Bulk-making Trunks
The inventor’s making lots of new parts to prepare for Pet Palooza! Here are lots of Trunks that are prepped, a standard sisal Trunk, and two Trunks that are wrapped with hemp–it’s much smoother than the sisal, so it will be interesting to test shifting over time with our product testers. But Boo’s parent is…

Assembling Heels and Toes
After cutting the heels/toes from stock material, each piece is half of the desired height of the final part. So each heel/toe profile that was cut on the CNC is glued and stapled into pairs.

In late August, the inventor was able to bulk-cut parts for cleats and trunk caps! Each heel/toe profile is one half of a full heel/toe, and every two caps is all you need to finish off the ends of each 2 foot trunk segment.

Tree Top Taps
Before leaving Cosmo’s house after the road trip, the inventor got a few “friendly” taps from Cosmo from the top of the Leaf Tree Mk1V1.5. With the new Leaf Tree Mk2, we were able to leave the tree for Cos to enjoy!

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…
