7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Heybly Cat Tree HCT101SR, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Instability: If the cat tree wobbles, ensure it is placed on a level surface. Adjust the leveling feet at the base until the tree is stable. Check all screws and tighten any that are loose.
• Doors Not Closing Securely: Verify that the magnetic locks are properly aligned and free of obstructions. Ensure the door hinges are securely fastened.
• Cat Not Using Litter Box Enclosure: Cats may need time to adjust to a new litter box location. Ensure the litter box inside is clean and familiar to your cat. Consider using catnip or treats to encourage exploration.
• Cat Not Using Scratching Posts: Some cats prefer different scratching textures or orientations. Try encouraging use with catnip spray on the sisal posts.
• Assembly Difficulties (Holes Not Aligning): Double-check the assembly instructions and diagrams to ensure parts are oriented correctly. If minor misalignment occurs, gentle pressure or a power drill (used carefully at low torque) may be needed, but avoid forcing components.
• Litter Box Messes Inside Enclosure: If your cat has aim issues, consider placing plastic urine guards or pee pads along the interior walls of the enclosure to simplify cleaning.
