Coral Scratcher Pet Toy

Coral Scratcher

Coral Scratcher is a cat scratching post inspired by coral branches and ocean waves. The branching form provides footholds, so cats can climb to the top and rest there, including cats that are less agile. The top also serves as a side table for items such as books, magazines and remote controls. The main body is made from environmentally friendly paper wicker, which resists scratching and sheds little. The base and top are made from cold rolled steel with a plastic finish. A modular structure joined by a single threaded rod allows the height to be adjusted.

Repawse Pet Power Assistive Exoskeleton

Repawse

Repawse is a rehabilitation exoskeleton designed for dogs with hindlimb impairment. Surface electromyography sensors read muscle signals from a healthy forelimb, and a microcontroller uses these signals to predict movement intention. Linear actuators then move the hindlimb support in real time, so walking stays coordinated and natural. The frame is made of aluminum alloy, the lining of soft memory foam, and the soles of anti-slip rubber. Parts are 3D printed from body scans for an individual fit and greater comfort.

Mushroom Pet Bowl

Mushroom

Mushroom is a ceramic bowl designed for feeding pets. The height, shape and depth of the bowl follow the physiology and eating habits of pets, so meals are easy to reach. The inwardly curved rim keeps food and water inside the bowl and helps the feeding area stay clean. The bowl is made in shallow and deep forms, which allows dry and wet food to be separated. Each piece is polished by hand, then glazed and fired with traditional pottery methods. The underglaze finish seals the color and supports food safety. The outline recalls the form of a mushroom.

Ocean View Cat Litter Box

Ocean View

Ocean View is a cat litter box shaped like a small contemporary villa. The structure is made of injection-molded polypropylene panels and arrives flat-packed, so assembly needs no tools. The curved roof is a sisal mat held by two magnets, and the mat can be replaced when worn by scratching. A tinted front panel and a shaped polyurethane door keep the interior dim, which suits the cat during use. A planter box on one side holds small to medium plants. All parts can be separated and washed, then assembled again once dry.

Yep Cat Litter Scoop

Yep

Many cat owners have the problems of slow-sifting speed and uncomfortable grip or unstable-feeling grip when scooping the waste from the litter box. The litter scoop features the continuous arrangement of ridgeline holes; this provides cat owners with such a quick, clean, and easy way to scoop the waste that they don’t even need to shake the litter scoop at all! The structural design of the U-shaped scoop allows the shovel to be easily used at various angles, and strengthens the structural integrity of the plastic.

Pudding Cat Food Bowl

Pudding

Pudding is a ceramic feeding bowl for cats and dogs. The bowl stands 140 mm tall and has a rim tilted forward by 15 degrees to support a comfortable eating posture. The wide opening keeps whiskers clear of the sides. A food grade stainless steel spoon attaches to the back with a magnet, so the same tool can open cans, stir wet food and then return to storage. The interior carries an antibacterial, non slip glaze that resists oil and is easy to clean. All edges are rounded, and the ceramic and steel parts separate for recycling.
