6. Maintenance
- Cleaning: The cat bed and hammocks are removable and washable. For other plush surfaces, use a lint roller or a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment to remove cat hair and dust. Spot clean any soiled areas with a mild pet-safe cleaner and a damp cloth. Allow to air dry completely.
- Sisal Posts: Regularly check the sisal rope for wear and tear. While durable, sisal can fray over time. Trim loose threads to prevent further damage.
- Structural Integrity: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten as needed to maintain stability.
- Damage Inspection: Inspect the entire cat tree for any signs of damage, such as broken platforms or torn fabric. Repair or replace damaged parts promptly to ensure your cat's safety.
7. Troubleshooting
Issue: Cat tree feels unstable.
Solution: Check all assembly screws and ensure they are fully tightened. Make sure the cat tree is placed on a flat, level surface. If the floor is uneven, consider placing a mat or shims underneath the base for added stability.
Issue: Cats are not using the scratching posts.
Solution: Try rubbing catnip on the sisal posts to attract your cats. You can also gently guide your cat's paws to the posts to demonstrate their use. Ensure the cat tree is in a prominent location where your cats spend time.
Issue: Cats are not interested in the cat tree.
Solution: Place the cat tree in a location your cat already enjoys, such as near a window or in a common living area. Encourage exploration with treats or favorite toys. Some cats need time to adjust to new items.
