Wee

This pet harness is designed for cats allowing them to go on walks outdoors. It uses a continuous strip of nylon webbing, two soft pads, two fasteners and a triangle ring. It requires almost no labor-intensive sewing because a small fixture was designed to form and hold the webbing at various angles to facilitate construction. The resulting harness is very light weight: 35g. This is appropriate for cats, who need the harness to be as light as possible. The harness fastening system uses a slide buckle for instant release instead of the more common center release buckle.

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.

Cozy

Cozy is an expandable travel bag designed for cats. The bag can be unfolded into a wall-mounted scratching board or a floor mat, which reduces the time the product stays unused. When closed, Cozy serves as a carrier for outings. When flat, the panel can be hung on a wall or pushed under a sofa. A ventilation window keeps the cat visible and safe. The inner surfaces use soft stretch fabric and sisal rope, while the frame uses hollow aluminium tubes and hollow wooden boards to reduce weight. The cushion is detachable for easy cleaning.

Replaceable wearing parts allow easy cleaning and maintenance. The book-like appearance suits home interiors. Mia reduces the space needed to carry and store pet travel supplies.

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.

N Plus Magic House

N Plus Magic House is a modular cat house designed for home use. The structure is built from standardized cube units that can be combined, expanded and taken apart.

The main body is made of PP resin, while transparent parts are made of PET so owners can see their pets. The rear section uses carbon steel mesh. The layout can be adapted to different rooms and to the habits of each cat.
