Operating Instructions
The Cat Condo Tower is designed for various feline activities, promoting both physical exercise and relaxation.
- Hammock Bed: The plush suspended hammock provides a cozy and elevated spot for your cat to rest, observe its surroundings, or nap comfortably.
- Scratching Posts: The two sturdy posts are wrapped with natural jute fiber, offering an ideal surface for your cat to sharpen its claws. This helps maintain nail health and redirects scratching behavior away from household furniture.
- Interactive Toy: The replaceable dangling soft ball toy encourages playful interaction, providing entertainment and stimulating your cat's natural hunting instincts.

Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and hygiene of your cat condo tower, regular maintenance is recommended.
- Cleaning: Spot clean the plush fabric and hammock as needed using a damp cloth and mild detergent. For deeper cleaning, the fabric components can be hand washed. Allow to air dry completely before reassembly or use.
- Inspection: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight and secure. Tighten any loose fasteners to maintain stability.
- Toy Replacement: The dangling ball toy is replaceable. If it becomes worn or damaged, replace it with a suitable cat-safe toy to continue providing enrichment.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your cat condo tower, consider the following common solutions:
- Instability: If the tower feels wobbly, re-check all assembly points and tighten any loose screws. Ensure it is placed on a flat, stable surface.
- Cat Not Using: Some cats may need time to adjust to new furniture. Try placing familiar toys or treats on the tower to encourage exploration. You can also use catnip to attract your cat.
- Excessive Wear: While durable, sisal posts will show wear over time. This is normal as your cat uses them. If the posts become too worn, consider replacing the unit or finding replacement parts if available.
