Operating Instructions (For Your Cat's Enjoyment)
Your PAWZ Road Cat Tree is designed to provide a stimulating and comfortable environment for your cat(s). Encourage your cat to explore and utilize its features:
- Scratching Posts: The sisal-wrapped posts are perfect for scratching. Encourage your cat by gently rubbing catnip on them or demonstrating scratching motions.
- Cozy Condos & Hammocks: These enclosed or semi-enclosed spaces offer privacy and warmth for napping and hiding. Place a favorite blanket or toy inside to entice your cat.
- Padded Perches: Elevated platforms provide excellent vantage points for observation and comfortable resting spots.
- Dangling Toys: The attached pompom or ball toys are designed for interactive play, stimulating your cat's hunting instincts.
- Removable Arch Brush: Some models include a self-grooming arch brush. Your cat can rub against it to clean their fur and enjoy a massage.

Maintenance
- Cleaning:
- For general cleaning, use a lint roller or vacuum cleaner to remove pet hair and dust from the plush surfaces.
- Spot clean any soiled areas with a mild pet-safe cleaner and a damp cloth. Avoid excessive moisture.
- Some models feature a removable and machine-washable top perch cover. Refer to the care label for specific washing instructions.
- Inspection:
- Regularly check the sisal scratching posts for wear and tear. Severely frayed posts may need replacement to maintain their effectiveness and prevent ingestion of loose fibers.
- Ensure all structural components, including posts, platforms, and connectors, are secure. Tighten any loose screws as needed.
- Inspect dangling toys for damage and replace if necessary.

Troubleshooting
- Cat not using the tree:
- Try placing the cat tree in a prominent location where your cat enjoys spending time, such as near a window.
- Use catnip spray or sprinkle catnip on the scratching posts and perches to attract your cat.
- Place your cat's favorite toys or treats on different levels to encourage exploration.
- Wobbling or instability:
- Ensure the cat tree is placed on a completely flat and level surface.
- Check all assembly screws and tighten any that are loose.
- Verify that the anti-toppling device (if included and installed) is securely fastened to the wall.
- Sisal rope fraying quickly:
- This is normal wear and tear from scratching. Continue to monitor and replace posts if they become too worn.
- Ensure your cat has other appropriate scratching surfaces to distribute their scratching activity.

User Tips

- Placement Matters: Cats often prefer elevated spots with a view. Placing the cat tree near a window can make it more appealing.
- Introduce Gradually: Some cats may need time to adjust to a new cat tree. Encourage them with treats, toys, or catnip.
- Regular Checks: Periodically check the stability of the tree, especially if you have very active cats.
