6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance will extend the life of your cat tree and ensure your pets' safety.

• Cleaning: Use a vacuum cleaner to remove loose fur and debris from the plush surfaces. For spot cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water, then air dry. Avoid harsh chemicals.
• Inspection: Periodically check all connections (screws, bolts) to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary.
• Sisal Posts: Monitor the sisal rope for excessive wear. While designed for scratching, heavily frayed areas may need attention or replacement if available.
• Stability: Ensure the base remains flat and stable on the floor. If the tree wobbles, check connections and placement.

7. Troubleshooting

• Instability/Wobbling: Ensure all screws are fully tightened. Place the cat tree on a flat, even surface. If necessary, consider placing weights on the base for added stability, especially for active or larger cats.
• Missing Parts: If any parts were missing upon delivery, contact the retailer or manufacturer's customer service immediately.
• Cats Not Using the Tree: Encourage use by placing treats, catnip, or familiar toys on different levels. Spend time playing with your cat around the tree to help them explore.
• Worn Sisal: Over time, sisal posts will show wear. This is normal. If the posts become too worn to be effective, contact the manufacturer for potential replacement parts.
