6. Maintenance

Proper maintenance will extend the life of your Heybly Cat Tree:

• Cleaning: The plush fabric surfaces should be dry cleaned only. For minor spots, use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap and allow to air dry completely.
• Location: Keep the cat tree indoors and in a dry place to prevent material degradation.
• Inspection: Regularly check all screws and connections for tightness. Re-tighten as needed. Inspect sisal posts for significant wear and tear; replace if severely damaged to maintain scratching effectiveness.
• Damage: If any part becomes damaged, discontinue use and contact customer support for replacement parts.

7. Troubleshooting

• Stability Issues:
  Problem: The cat tree wobbles or feels unstable.
  Solution: Ensure all assembly screws are fully tightened. Verify that the anti-tipping kit is correctly installed and securely anchored to a wall stud. Place the cat tree on a completely flat and level surface.
• Missing or Damaged Parts:
  Problem: Components are missing from the package or are damaged upon arrival.
  Solution: Review the package contents list. If parts are missing or damaged, contact Heybly customer support immediately for assistance and replacement parts.
• Cat Not Using the Tree:
  Problem: Your cat shows little interest in the cat tree.
  Solution: Try placing treats or catnip on different levels of the tree to encourage exploration. Place the tree in a location your cat frequently visits or near a window. Engage your cat with the dangling toys.
