Maintenance
- Cleaning: Use a lint roller or a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment to remove pet hair and dust from the velvet surfaces. For minor stains, spot clean with a damp cloth and mild pet-safe cleaner. Avoid excessive moisture.
- Sisal Care: The sisal scratching surfaces are durable but will show wear over time. Replace the sisal posts if they become heavily frayed or damaged.
- Stability Check: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they are tight. Re-tighten if necessary. Verify the anti-tip kit remains securely fastened to the wall.
- Toy Inspection: Inspect the hanging plush balls for any signs of damage or detachment. Replace if broken to prevent choking hazards.
Troubleshooting
- Cat not using the tree: Try placing treats, catnip, or familiar toys on different levels to encourage exploration. Ensure the tree is in a location your cat frequents.
- Tree feels wobbly: Double-check all screws and connections for tightness. Ensure the anti-tip kit is properly installed and secured to a sturdy wall.
- Sisal posts are worn out: Sisal is a natural fiber and will wear with use. Replacement sisal posts may be available from the manufacturer or compatible third-party sellers.
- Condos too small for my cat: This model is designed for small to medium-sized cats (up to 5 kg). If your cat is larger, they may prefer the open perches or a larger model.
