Assembly Instructions

Follow these steps carefully to assemble your WilTec Cat Tree. It is recommended to have two people for assembly, especially when installing the ceiling tensioner.

1. Prepare the Base: Place the large, sturdy base plate (130 x 60 cm) on your desired flat and stable floor location. Ensure there is sufficient clearance to the ceiling for the tensioner.
2. Attach Lower Posts and Houses: Begin by screwing the shortest sisal and plush posts into the designated holes on the base plate. Then, attach the first level of cat houses and platforms to these posts using the provided hardware. Ensure all connections are tight.
3. Build Upwards: Continue attaching posts, platforms, and the remaining cat houses and lying baskets in a hierarchical manner, following the visual guide provided in the product images. Pay attention to the orientation of each piece to ensure ladders can be properly installed later.
4. Install Ladders: Once the main structure is built, attach the two ladders between appropriate platforms to provide climbing access for your cats.
5. Install Ceiling Tensioner: Identify the longest post designed for the ceiling tensioner. Attach the tensioner mechanism to the top of this post. Carefully raise the entire cat tree structure into position. Extend the ceiling tensioner until it firmly presses against the ceiling, securing the cat tree in place. Adjust the tensioner to ensure maximum stability without damaging the ceiling.
6. Final Check: Double-check all screws, bolts, and connections to ensure they are fully tightened. Gently shake the cat tree to confirm its stability.

Maintenance and Care

• Cleaning: Regularly vacuum the plush surfaces to remove loose fur and dust. For minor stains, gently spot clean with a damp cloth and mild pet-safe detergent. Avoid saturating the material.
• Sisal Posts: The sisal posts are designed for scratching. Over time, they may show wear. This is normal. If the sisal becomes excessively frayed or damaged, consider replacing the individual post if possible, or monitor for stability.
• Stability Check: Periodically check all screws and connections for tightness. Re-tighten as necessary to maintain the tree's stability. Ensure the ceiling tensioner remains firm.
• Odor Control: To minimize odors, ensure the cat tree is placed in a well-ventilated area. You can also use pet-safe deodorizing sprays if needed.
