Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your HOOBRO Cat Tree, please refer to the following common solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Instability/Wobbling | Loose connections; uneven floor; anti-tip kit not installed. | Ensure all screws are tightened. Adjust the leg levelers at the base. Install the anti-tip kit securely to a wall stud. |
| Teaser Sticks Detaching | Normal wear from cat play; not fully secured. | Re-insert the sticks firmly into their holes. These are designed to be detachable for interactive play. If lost, replacements may be available from the manufacturer. |
| Cats Not Using Scratching Posts | Preference for other surfaces; unfamiliarity. | Encourage use by sprinkling catnip on the sisal posts. Gently guide your cat's paws to the posts. |
| Litter Box Odor | Infrequent cleaning; inadequate ventilation. | Clean the litter box and enclosure regularly. The louvered doors provide ventilation, but ensure the room is also well-ventilated. |
