Operating Instructions

The lionto Cat Tree is designed to provide multiple functions for your cat:

• Scratching Posts: The sisal-covered posts allow your cat to naturally sharpen their claws, helping to protect your furniture. Encourage your cat to use these posts by gently guiding their paws or using catnip.
• Niche/Condo: The enclosed niche offers a secure and cozy space for your cat to rest, hide, or sleep.
• Platforms: The elevated platforms provide vantage points for your cat to observe their surroundings, relax, or nap.
• Plush Play Ball: The dangling plush ball encourages playful interaction and satisfies your cat's hunting instincts.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and hygiene of your cat tree:

• Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a damp cloth to remove dust and pet hair. For deeper cleaning, use a mild pet-safe cleaner on plush areas and allow to air dry completely. Avoid harsh chemicals.
• Sisal Posts: Over time, sisal posts may show wear. This is normal as cats use them for scratching. Monitor for excessive fraying that could pose a hazard.
• Regular Inspection: Periodically check all screws and connections for tightness. Tighten as needed to maintain stability.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your cat tree, consider the following:

• Instability: If the cat tree wobbles, ensure it is placed on a level surface. Check and tighten all screws, especially those connecting the posts to the base and platforms.
• Cat Not Using Tree: Cats may need time to adjust. Try placing treats or catnip on different levels of the tree. Engage your cat in play near the tree to encourage exploration.
• Damaged Parts: If any part becomes damaged, discontinue use immediately and contact customer support for replacement parts. Do not attempt to repair with unsuitable materials.
