Safety Information

To ensure the safety of your pets and household, observe the following guidelines:

Operating Your Cat Tree

The Hey-brother Cat Tree Tower provides multiple levels and features for your cat's activity and rest. Encourage your cat to explore the various areas:

• Multi-Level Platforms: Cats can climb and observe their surroundings from different heights.
• Cozy Condos: Three enclosed spaces offer comfortable napping and hiding spots.
• Plush Perches: Three elevated perches with raised edges provide secure resting areas.
• Sisal-Covered Scratching Posts: Multiple posts wrapped with natural sisal rope allow cats to satisfy their scratching instincts, helping to protect your furniture.
• Interactive Jingly Balls: Attached balls provide engaging play opportunities.
• Sisal-Covered Slope: Adds an additional surface for climbing and scratching.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance will extend the lifespan of your cat tree and ensure a clean environment for your pets.

• Cleaning: The fabric components of the cat tree are recommended for hand washing only. Spot clean with a mild detergent and water as needed. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing.
• Vacuuming: Regularly vacuum the plush surfaces to remove loose fur and dust.
• Inspect Scratching Posts: Over time, sisal ropes may show wear. Monitor the condition of the scratching posts and consider replacing the tree if the posts become excessively frayed and no longer effective.
• Check Connections: Periodically check all screws and bolts to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if any looseness is detected.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Hey-brother Cat Tree Tower, refer to the following common solutions:

• Wobbling: Ensure the cat tree is on a level surface. Verify all screws are tightly secured. If wobbling persists, ensure the anti-toppling fittings are correctly installed and anchored to a wall.
• Missing Parts: Double-check all packaging materials. If parts are genuinely missing, contact Hey-brother customer service for assistance.
• Difficulty Aligning Screws: Ensure you are using the correct screws for each part as indicated in the assembly manual. Sometimes, gently pressing through the fabric covering over the screw holes can help with alignment. Do not force screws, as this may damage the components.
• Cats Not Using the Tree: Introduce your cat to the tree gradually. Place treats or catnip on different levels to encourage exploration. Interactive play near the tree can also help.
