Maintenance

Cleaning the Enclosure

• Regularly wipe down all surfaces with a damp cloth and mild cleaner. Avoid abrasive cleaners that may damage the finish.
• For spills or accidents inside the litter box compartment, clean immediately to prevent odor absorption.
• Ensure the enclosure is completely dry before allowing your cat to re-enter.

Scratching Pad Care

• The included scratching pad is designed for wear. Replace it when it becomes heavily used or damaged to maintain its effectiveness and prevent tracking.
• To replace, simply remove the old pad and insert a new one of appropriate size.

Troubleshooting

Door Not Closing Securely

• Check if the magnetic latches are properly aligned and securely attached to both the door and the frame.
• Ensure no debris is obstructing the door's path.
• If a magnet has detached, reattach it using appropriate adhesive or fasteners, ensuring it is flush with the surface.

Unit Instability

• Verify that all assembly screws are tightened.
• Adjust the leveling feet at the bottom of the unit to compensate for uneven flooring. Turn the feet clockwise or counter-clockwise until the unit is stable.

Excessive Litter Tracking

• Ensure the scratching pad is in place, as it helps to remove litter from paws.
• Consider using a litter mat outside the enclosure's entrance.
• Experiment with different types of litter that may track less.
