Maintenance
Regular maintenance will extend the life of your cat tree and keep it hygienic for your pets.
- Cleaning: Clean the plush surfaces with a damp cloth or a lint roller to remove pet hair and dust. For deeper cleaning, a pet-safe upholstery cleaner can be used sparingly. Always ensure the fabric is completely dry before your cats use it again.
- Spot Cleaning: For small stains, use a mild pet-safe cleaner and a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that could be harmful to your pets.
- Sisal Rope Care: The sisal scratching posts are designed to fray over time. This is normal. You can trim loose threads if necessary.
- Structural Check: Periodically check all screws and bolts to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten as needed to maintain stability.
- Storage: Store the cat tree in a dry environment.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Cat tree wobbles | Loose connections; not secured to wall; uneven floor. | Tighten all screws and bolts. Ensure the anti-tipping device is properly installed and secured to a wall stud. Place on a level surface. |
| Cats not using scratching posts | Preference for other surfaces; unfamiliarity. | Encourage use by gently placing your cat's paws on the sisal. Use catnip spray on the sisal. |
| Hanging toy detached | Vigorous play; worn attachment. | Reattach securely. If damaged, replace the toy. |
| Difficulty assembling | Incorrect part orientation; missing hardware. | Review the assembly manual diagrams carefully. Ensure all parts are correctly identified. Contact customer support if parts are missing. |
