Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Cat tree feels wobbly/unstable. | Loose connections; not secured to wall; uneven floor. | Re-tighten all screws. Ensure the anti-tipping kit is properly installed and secured to a wall stud. Place on a level surface. |
| Parts are missing or damaged upon arrival. | Shipping error; manufacturing defect. | Do not proceed with assembly. Contact customer support immediately for replacement parts. |
| Cats are not using the scratching posts. | Preference for other surfaces; unfamiliarity. | Encourage use by placing catnip on the sisal. Gently guide your cat's paws to the scratching surface. |
| Plush fabric is shedding excessively. | Normal initial shedding; heavy use. | Regularly vacuum or use a lint roller to remove loose fibers. This typically reduces over time. |
