   Attach the first set of platforms and the cat condo to the base posts. Pay attention to the orientation of the condo for proper access.
3. Step 3: Add Middle Posts and Basket
   Connect the next set of posts and the hanging basket to the installed platforms. The basket should be securely fastened on both sides for stability.
4. Step 4: Attach Upper Platforms and Perch

5. Operating Instructions (Features)

• Padded Plush Perch: The top platform offers a soft, elevated spot for your cat to rest, observe its surroundings, or nap comfortably.
• Cat Condo: A private, enclosed space provides a sense of security and a quiet retreat for your cat.
• Hanging Basket: Cats naturally enjoy being wrapped in cozy spaces. The fixed basket offers a stable and secure spot for lounging.
• Sisal Scratching Posts & Board: Multiple posts and a ramp covered in natural sisal rope allow your cat to satisfy its scratching instincts, helping to maintain nail health and protect your furniture.
• Cat Self-Groomer Brush: Located at a lower level, this soft plastic brush provides gentle massage and grooming, helping to remove loose fur and promote a clean environment.
• Plush Ball Toy: The attached plush ball with a bell provides interactive entertainment without excessive noise, keeping your cat engaged.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Use a lint roller or a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment to remove loose fur and dust from the plush surfaces. For spot cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water, then air dry.
• Sisal Rope: The sisal scratching areas are designed for durability. If they become frayed, trim loose threads to prevent further unraveling.
• General Care: Keep the cat tree indoors and away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and material degradation.

7. Troubleshooting

• Wobbling: If the cat tree wobbles, ensure all screws are tightly fastened. Verify it is placed on a level surface. Utilize the anti-tipping kit if not already installed.
• Cat Not Using: Introduce your cat to the tree gradually. Place treats or familiar toys on different levels. Use catnip to attract them to the scratching areas or condo.
• Loose Parts: If any parts become loose, re-tighten them immediately. If a part is broken, contact customer support for replacement.
