6. Maintenance

Proper maintenance will extend the life of your cat tree and keep it hygienic for your pet.

• Cleaning: The cat tree is made with skin-friendly flannel. For cleaning, use a damp cloth for spot cleaning only. Avoid saturating the material with water. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Vacuuming: Regularly vacuum the plush surfaces to remove loose fur and dust.
• Inspection: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Tighten as needed. Inspect sisal posts for excessive wear and tear; while durable, sisal will fray over time with use.
• Odor Control: If odors develop, sprinkle baking soda on the plush areas, let it sit for 15-30 minutes, then vacuum thoroughly.

7. Troubleshooting

• Issue: Cat tree feels unstable or wobbly.
  Solution: Ensure all screws are fully tightened. Verify that the cat tree is placed on a flat, level surface. Confirm the anti-tipping accessory is properly installed and secured to a wall.
• Issue: Parts are loose after assembly.
  Solution: Re-check all connections and tighten any loose screws using the provided Allen wrench.
• Issue: Cat is not using the scratching posts.
  Solution: Try sprinkling catnip on the sisal posts to attract your cat. Gently guide your cat's paws to the posts to demonstrate their purpose.
• Issue: Cat is not interested in the cat tree.
  Solution: Place favorite toys or treats on different levels of the cat tree to encourage exploration. Ensure the cat tree is in a location your cat frequently visits or where it can observe its surroundings.
