Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your cat litter cabinet, please refer to the following common solutions:

• Cabinet Instability: If the cabinet feels wobbly, ensure all assembly screws are fully tightened. Check that the cabinet is placed on a flat, level surface.
• Loose Door Mechanism: If the flap door becomes loose or difficult to operate, re-tighten any visible screws on the hinge or sliding mechanism. Avoid applying excessive force when opening or closing the door.
• Cat Hesitation to Use: If your cat is reluctant to use the cabinet, try leaving the flap door open for a few days to allow them to get accustomed to the new setup. You can also place a familiar item, like a favorite toy, inside.
• Excessive Litter Scatter: Ensure the litter mat is properly positioned. If scatter persists, consider using a different type of litter or a litter box with higher sides inside the cabinet.
