7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Cat tree is wobbly. | Loose connections or uneven floor. | Ensure all screws are tightened. Place on a level surface or use shims if necessary. |
| Cushions do not stay in place. | Hook and loop fasteners not properly aligned or worn. | Re-align cushions to ensure full contact with fasteners. Replace fasteners if worn. |
