4. Maintenance

Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and cleanliness of your cat tree.

4.1 Cleaning

• Boards and Platforms: Each board is covered with a protective wax. A quick wipe with a damp cloth is sufficient to keep them clean. Avoid harsh chemicals that could be harmful to your pet.

• Jute Posts: Use a brush or vacuum cleaner to remove loose fur and debris from the jute scratching posts.

4.2 Inspection

• Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight and secure. Retighten as necessary.
• Inspect scratching posts for excessive wear. While durable, jute can fray over time.
• Check platforms and perches for any signs of instability or damage.

5.2 Cat Disinterest

• Not using scratching posts: Try rubbing catnip on the jute posts or dangling toys near them to encourage scratching.
• Not climbing: Place treats or favorite toys on higher levels to entice your cat to explore. Ensure the tree is in a location your cat feels safe and enjoys.

5.3 Wear and Tear
