1. Identify Base and Main Posts: Start by identifying the base plate and the longest scratching posts. Attach these posts to the base using the appropriate screws.

6. Maintenance

Proper maintenance will extend the life of your cat tree:

• Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a damp cloth and a mild detergent. Dry thoroughly. Do not machine wash or hand wash any fabric components.
• Storage: Store in a dry place.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the sisal scratching surfaces for wear and tear. Replace if severely damaged to maintain functionality and safety.
• Tighten Connections: Regularly check and tighten all screws and connections to ensure structural integrity.

7. Troubleshooting

• Instability: If the cat tree feels wobbly, ensure it is on a level surface. Re-tighten all screws. Verify the anti-tip system is correctly installed and secured to the wall.
• Parts Not Fitting: Double-check the assembly diagram. Some parts may appear similar but have slight differences in length or connection points. Measure components if necessary to match them to the diagram.
• Fabric Wear: The plush fabric may show wear over time, especially in high-traffic areas. This is normal with cat use. Consider adding removable covers for extended protection.
• Sisal Damage: Sisal is designed for scratching and will fray. If the sisal is completely worn out, consider wrapping new sisal rope around the posts or replacing the affected posts if possible.
