Operating Instructions
This cat tree offers multiple features for your cat's comfort and entertainment:
- Sisal Pillars: Encourage natural scratching behavior by directing your cat to the sisal-wrapped posts. This helps protect your furniture.
- Cat Hammock: A soft, plush hammock provides a cozy spot for your cat to rest and observe its surroundings.
- Cat House: A small square cat house with a round entrance offers a private and secure resting area.
- Litter Box Enclosure: The bottom compartment serves as a hidden litter box enclosure, helping to contain odors and mess. The internal space measures approximately 17.3"L x 19.7"W x 15"H, with an arched cat entrance of 7.1"W x 9.4"H.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance will extend the life of your HOOBRO Cat Tree:
- Cleaning: The particleboard surfaces can be easily cleaned with a dry cloth to remove dust and stains. For the top cushion, which features hook and loop tape, use a sticker roller for daily care.
- Sisal Posts: Over time, sisal ropes may fray. Monitor the condition of the scratching posts and replace them if they become excessively worn to maintain their effectiveness and prevent injury.
- Structural Integrity: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Retighten if necessary to maintain stability.
