Aha! Didn’t realise it was an animal hospital either - I thought it was maybe for a children’s ward!

I just love that you are going to all this effort for the kitties!

My wife and I joke we will open the total mammalian clinic. Our team Bike Jerseys are “Team Total Mammalian” and on the back it reads “If it makes milk, we can fix it” (long before medical school I was one of her surgical techs to get clinical experience)

me too! My kitty is now 17.5 yrs old, so she’s not jumping onto shelves anymore, but I’m considering building her some ramps and/or stairs when the GF comes.
I LOVE the cut-out paw on the bracket.

My 20 year has recently started to sleep at me feet (or where ever I am at) like a puppy dog…
She makes it hard to move the feet or stretch out the legs

There is no such thing as almond milk. That is a marketing lie.
Milk is a pale liquid produced by the mammary glands of mammals.
There is
Almond liquid
Almond juice
Almond water
Almond fluid
Almond substance
Almond milk analog
Almond milk replacement
Imitation milk
Almond milk substitute
“Just Almond” (or, alternately, “Mostly water”)
Almond (Not)Milk
Water Streamed Over Almond Meal
Almond-in-Water, in the style of Croton-on-Hudson
Almwater
Almonuice
Almond pulp
Pulverized almond meat
Almond tears
Almond sweat
Almond hydrate
Stomped almonds
Liquidated almond mash
Almond emulsion
Almond filtrate
Gray water
High-protein water
Nutty cloud beverage
Granted, historians have traced the first instance of plant-based milk in a cookbook to 1226, when it appeared in Kitabh al-tabikh, or A Baghdad Cookery Book, with recipes that called for milked “sweet almonds.”

Gray water just doesn’t sound as appealing.
(Not much of a fan either way…I prefer to eat them.)

I find that Inkscape can do pretty much everything I want to accomplish in designing constructions. I’m very happy with the things I’ve produced. It is excellent for many reasons, especially for text work or decorations of surfaces.
However, as I make a design and want to use a different material, it takes tweaking for different dimensions. That is a pain.
OnShape is pretty cool. The cloud based software is always there at whatever computer I end up on, wherever I am. I have done only one project so far in it, but made many different versions of it with many different materials and sizes and only had to change four variables. It’s magic.

The other key thing if you work as a team, is that OnShape is team oriented. Just like in google docs where the whole team can simultaneously be working on the same document live, the same is true in OnShape. I often do this where I am in the OR measuring something, while my students in the lab are working on other parts of the design, and we each see each other’s work live.

Looking great !! (you didn’t hide a mouse somewhere among the paw prints? 
). Look forward to a picture of one in “use” 
.

I got the green staining done on the steps, so waiting for the bulk of VOCs to go away, then will put on the gloss finish (pet safe - water based)
I don’t know much about designing, and have never even touched AI. But once a “pattern” is made, isn’t it treated like a normal image? Can you just select a random paw print and replace it with a mouse? Then you have total control over the “randomness” of the inserted mouse, and the placement of where that mouse will show up.
If not, then please excuse my ignorance on this.

Patterns in AI and PS are very sophisticated and you can do “math” and even apply some randomness (see spray patterns like clover) where size, rotation, etc all change as the pattern repeats. You can turn patterns into just “parts of the image” by expanding them, but then they are no longer patterns, and in fact you need to do this prior to sending to the GFUI (or you get an error)

Nope! No idea! Chuckle! 
(I don’t use Patterns much… you might be able to find something on YouTube - there’s probably a video on it somewhere.)
