4. Assembly Instructions (Setup)
Follow these steps to assemble your Feandrea Cat Tree. It is recommended to have a clear, spacious area for assembly.
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging and lay them out. Verify against the package contents list.
- Identify Parts: Refer to the diagram below to identify each component (e.g., base plates, posts, platforms, houses, hammock, basket, screws).
- Assemble Base: Attach the lowest scratching posts to the main base plate using the provided screws and Allen wrench. Ensure they are securely tightened.
- Build Upwards: Continue attaching platforms, houses, and additional scratching posts layer by layer, following the numerical sequence in the diagram.
- Install Accessories: Attach the hammock, basket, and scratching ramp to their designated positions.
- Attach Dangling Toys: Secure the plush balls to the designated hooks or platforms.
- Final Check: Once fully assembled, gently shake the cat tree to ensure all connections are tight and the structure is stable. Retighten any loose screws if necessary.
5. Usage
Place the cat tree in a stable location, preferably against a wall or in a corner, to prevent tipping. Encourage your cat to explore the tree by placing treats or toys on different levels. The various platforms, houses, and scratching surfaces are designed to provide a stimulating and comfortable environment for your cat's daily activities.
6. Maintenance
- Regular Cleaning: Use a lint roller or vacuum cleaner to remove cat hair and dust from the velvet surfaces.
- Spot Cleaning: For minor stains on velvet, use a damp cloth with mild soap. Blot gently and allow to air dry.
- Hard Surfaces: Wipe particleboard surfaces with a damp cloth.
- Inspect for Wear: Periodically check scratching posts and other components for wear and tear. Replace severely damaged parts to maintain safety and functionality.
- Tighten Screws: Over time, screws may loosen. Regularly check and tighten all screws to ensure the cat tree remains stable.
7. Troubleshooting
- Issue: Cat tree feels wobbly after assembly.
- Solution: Ensure all screws are fully tightened. Check that the base is on a flat, even surface. The reinforced base with extra battens is designed for stability, but an uneven floor can still cause wobbling.
- Issue: Cat is not using the scratching posts.
- Solution: Try sprinkling catnip on the scratching posts or gently guiding your cat's paws to the sisal. Place the cat tree in an area where your cat frequently scratches or rests.
- Issue: Dangling toys are damaged or detached.
- Solution: Remove any broken toys to prevent choking hazards. New toys can often be reattached or replaced with similar cat-safe toys.
