Maintenance & Care
- Cleaning: The plush fabric can be spot cleaned with a damp cloth and mild detergent. For deeper cleaning, hand wash only as per manufacturer's recommendation. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Sisal Posts: Over time, sisal rope may fray. This is normal wear and tear. Monitor the condition of the posts and consider replacing them if they become too worn to be effective.
- Structural Integrity: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten as necessary to maintain stability.
- Odor Control: To minimize odors, regularly vacuum the cat tree and ensure proper ventilation in the area where it is placed.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Cat tree is wobbly. | Loose screws or uneven surface. | Ensure all screws are tightened. Place the cat tree on a flat, level floor. Consider placing it against a wall for added support. |
| Cat is not using the scratching posts. | Prefers other scratching surfaces or needs encouragement. | Sprinkle catnip on the sisal posts. Gently guide your cat's paws to the posts. Reward them when they use the posts. |
