5. Operating Instructions

The RHRQuality Kilimanjaro Deluxe Cat Tree is designed for your cat's comfort, play, and exercise. Encourage your cat to use the tree by:

• Placing it in a central location where your cat enjoys spending time.
• Using catnip or treats to attract your cat to the various levels and sleeping areas.
• Playing with your cat around the tree to encourage climbing and interaction with the sisal rope.
• The sisal posts are intended for scratching, helping to maintain your cat's claws and protect your furniture.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance will extend the life of your cat tree and ensure a hygienic environment for your pet.

• Cleaning Cushions: The removable cushions can be spot cleaned with a mild detergent. Refer to the care label on the cushions for specific washing instructions. Note: The product specifications state 'Do not wash' for general care, so avoid machine washing the entire tree structure.
• Cleaning Sisal Posts: Use a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment to remove loose fur and debris from the sisal posts. For deeper cleaning, a damp cloth can be used, but avoid excessive moisture.
• General Cleaning: Vacuum the plush surfaces regularly to remove fur and dust. Wipe down any soiled areas with a damp cloth and mild pet-safe cleaner.
• Checking Stability: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary to maintain the tree's stability.

7. Troubleshooting

• Wobbling Cat Tree: If the cat tree feels unstable, check all assembly points. Ensure all screws are fully tightened. Make sure the tree is placed on a flat, level surface.
• Cat Not Using the Tree: Cats can be particular. Try placing favorite toys, treats, or catnip on different levels to encourage exploration. Position the tree near a window or a favorite resting spot.
• Worn Sisal Posts: Sisal posts are designed to be scratched and will eventually show wear. Replacement sisal posts may be available from the manufacturer or authorized retailers.
