Maintenance
Regular maintenance will extend the life of your cat tree and keep it hygienic for your pets.
- Cleaning: Use a lint roller or vacuum cleaner to remove loose fur and dust from the plush surfaces. For spot cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water, then air dry thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Sisal Posts: Periodically check the sisal rope for wear and tear. Severely frayed areas may need to be re-wrapped or replaced to maintain effectiveness.
- Structural Check: Regularly inspect all connections, screws, and the wall anchor to ensure they remain tight and secure. Tighten any loose parts immediately.
- Toy Inspection: Check dangling toys for damage. Replace or remove any broken toys to prevent choking hazards.
Troubleshooting
Cat Not Using the Tree:
- Location: Place the cat tree in a prominent area where your cat enjoys spending time, such as near a window or in a common living space.
- Scent: Rub some catnip on the scratching posts or platforms to attract your cat.
- Familiarity: Place your cat's favorite blanket or toy on one of the perches to make it feel more inviting.
Stability Issues:
- Re-tighten: Ensure all screws and connections are fully tightened.
- Wall Anchor: Verify that the anti-toppling strap is correctly installed and securely fastened to a sturdy wall.
- Level Surface: Confirm the cat tree is placed on a flat, level surface.

User Tips
- Placement is Key: Cats often prefer to be in a central location where they can observe their surroundings. Placing the tree near a window or in a busy room can encourage use.
- Introduce Gradually: If your cat is hesitant, gently place them on different levels of the tree. Use treats or toys to create positive associations.
- Scratching Training: If your cat scratches furniture, redirect them to the sisal posts. You can gently guide their paws to the posts or spray catnip on them.
- Regular Playtime: Engage your cat with the dangling toys or other interactive toys around the tree to make it a fun and exciting place.
