Setup and Assembly

Assembly of the Feandrea Cat Tree is designed to be straightforward. Follow the included step-by-step instructions and use the provided Allen hex key. Universal screws simplify the process.

1. Unpack and Identify Parts: Lay out all components and compare them against the parts list in your separate assembly guide.
2. Assemble Base: Begin by attaching the lowest posts to the base plate.
3. Build Upwards: Follow the numerical sequence in your assembly guide to connect platforms, caves, and posts layer by layer. Ensure all screws are tightened firmly.
4. Install Hammock: Secure the hammock between the designated posts.
5. Attach Perches and Pompoms: Place the top perches and attach the hanging pompoms.

Operating Instructions

The Feandrea Cat Tree provides a versatile environment for your cats' natural behaviors.

• Climbing and Exploration: The multi-level design allows cats to climb, jump, and explore vertical spaces, satisfying their natural instincts.
• Resting and Observation: Two plush top perches offer elevated spots for cats to relax and observe their surroundings. Two spacious cat caves provide cozy, private retreats for napping.
• Scratching: The sisal-covered posts are designed for scratching, helping to maintain claw health and diverting scratching behavior away from furniture.
• Play: Hanging pompoms with bells encourage playful interaction. Spare pompoms without bells are included for a quieter play option.
• Hammock: The integrated hammock offers an additional comfortable spot for lounging.

Maintenance

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

• Cleaning: Use a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment to remove cat hair and dust from the plush surfaces. Spot clean any soiled areas with a mild pet-safe cleaner and a damp cloth. Avoid excessive moisture.
• Tighten Connections: Periodically check all screws and connections. Re-tighten any loose parts to maintain stability.
• Inspect for Wear: Examine scratching posts for significant wear. While sisal is durable, it will fray over time. Replace worn pompoms with the included spares or new ones if needed.
• Base Stability: Ensure the reinforced base remains flat and stable on the floor.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Feandrea Cat Tree, consider the following common solutions:

• Wobbling: If the cat tree feels unstable, re-check all screw connections and tighten them firmly. Ensure the anti-tip kit is properly installed and secured to a wall stud.
• Missing Parts: If any parts are missing upon unboxing, refer to the contact information for customer support to request replacements.
• Damage During Shipping: If components are damaged, contact customer support immediately with details and photographic evidence.
• Cats Not Using Tree: Introduce your cat to the tree gradually. Use catnip, treats, or familiar blankets to encourage exploration. Place the tree in a location your cat frequently visits.
