1. Prepare the Base: Lay the largest baseboard (usually the widest and heaviest) on a flat, clean surface.
2. Attach Lower Posts: Screw the first set of scratching posts into the designated holes on the baseboard. Ensure they are tightened securely.
3. Install First Platform/Condo: Place the first platform or condo unit onto the attached posts. Secure it using the provided screws and Allen wrench.
4. Continue Layering: Repeat the process, attaching subsequent scratching posts, platforms, and condo units layer by layer, following the structural design. Ensure each connection is firm.
5. Attach Basket and Hammock: Secure the plush basket and hammock to their designated positions on the platforms using the provided hardware.
6. Install Top Perches: Attach the highest platforms and perches, including any cat-ear shaped perches, to the uppermost posts.
7. Add Toys: Attach the elastic furry balls to the designated hooks or loops on the cat tree.
8. Secure with Anti-Toppling Strap: Locate the anti-toppling strap. Attach one end to a sturdy part of the cat tree (e.g., a top platform) and the other end to a wall stud using appropriate wall anchors and screws (not always included, may require separate purchase depending on wall type). This step is crucial for stability.
9. Final Check: Once fully assembled, gently shake the cat tree to ensure all connections are tight and the structure is stable. Retighten any loose screws.
