Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues during assembly or use, refer to the following common solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Parts do not align during assembly. | Incorrect orientation of panels or cam-lock nuts. | Review the assembly diagrams carefully. Ensure cam-lock nuts have the arrow facing outward towards the cam-lock screw. Double-check that the correct panels are being joined. |
| Doors do not close properly or are misaligned. | Hinges or magnetic catches are not installed correctly or are loose. | Adjust the hinges to ensure proper door alignment. Re-tighten screws on hinges and magnetic catches. Ensure the magnetic catch aligns with the metal plate on the door. |
| Unit feels wobbly or unstable. | Hardware not fully tightened. | Go back through all assembly steps and ensure all cam-lock nuts and screws are fully tightened. Ensure wooden dowels are properly seated. |
| Cat is not using the litter box inside the enclosure. | New environment, size of litter box, or cat preference. | Allow your cat time to adjust to the new enclosure. Ensure the litter box fits comfortably and is easily accessible through the side opening. Some cats may prefer a fully enclosed litter box inside the enclosure for added privacy. Consider using a litter box with higher sides if your cat tends to spray. |
