Operating Instructions

Encouraging Use:
- Scratching Posts: The 11 sisal-wrapped posts are ideal for satisfying your cat's natural urge to scratch, helping to protect your furniture.
- Hammocks and Perches: Cats can relax, observe their surroundings, or nap in the soft hammocks and elevated perches.

- Play: Hanging toys encourage interactive play and exercise.
Maintenance
Cleaning:
- Removable Parts: The cat bed and hammock covers are removable and machine washable. Wash on a gentle cycle with mild detergent and air dry.
- Spot Cleaning: For non-removable fabric areas, use a damp cloth with mild soap to spot clean. Avoid excessive moisture.
- Vacuuming: Regularly vacuum the entire cat tree to remove loose fur and dust.
Structural Integrity:
- Check Fasteners: Periodically check all screws and bolts to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten as necessary to maintain stability.

- Base Stability: Ensure the base remains firm and level.
Troubleshooting
Cat Tree Instability:
- Loose Connections: Re-check all screws and bolts and tighten them securely.
- Uneven Surface: Ensure the cat tree is placed on a flat, level floor. Adjust if necessary.
- Overload: Ensure the total weight of cats on the tree does not exceed the maximum static load capacity (100kg / 220lb).
Cat Not Using the Tree:
- Location: Try moving the cat tree to a different location, perhaps near a window or in a room where your cat spends a lot of time.
- Attraction: Use catnip spray or treats to encourage your cat to explore the tree.
- Familiar Scent: Place a blanket or toy with your cat's scent on the tree to make it feel more inviting.
