5. Operating Instructions

The PETEPELA Cat Tower AMT0215 is designed to provide multiple functions for your cat(s):

• Scratching: The posts wrapped with natural hemp twine serve as dedicated scratching areas. Encourage your cat to use these posts to satisfy their natural urge to scratch, helping to protect your furniture.
• Resting and Sleeping: The various platforms, the spacious hammock, and the enclosed cat house offer comfortable spots for your cat(s) to rest, nap, or sleep. The top bed with its soft, removable cover is particularly inviting.
• Playing and Exploring: The multi-level design allows cats to climb, jump, and explore, providing essential physical and mental stimulation. The integrated toy (if applicable) can further encourage play.
• Observation Deck: The higher platforms provide an elevated vantage point, which many cats enjoy for observing their surroundings.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance will extend the life of your cat tower and keep it hygienic for your pet.

• Cleaning Surfaces: Wipe down wooden and fabric surfaces with a damp cloth. For stubborn stains, use a pet-safe cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals.
• Removable Cover: The cover of the top bed is removable for easy cleaning. Follow the care instructions on the label, typically machine wash on a gentle cycle with mild detergent and air dry.
• Scratching Posts: Over time, the natural hemp twine scratching posts will show wear. Regularly inspect them for fraying or damage. Worn posts can be replaced; contact customer support for purchasing individual parts.
• Vacuuming: Vacuum the fabric areas regularly to remove loose fur and dust.
• Stability Check: Periodically re-tighten all screws and connections to maintain the tower's stability.

7. Troubleshooting

• Tower is Wobbly:
  Solution: Ensure the tower is placed on a flat, even surface. Re-check all screws and connections, tightening any that are loose. If wobbling persists, ensure the base is fully supported and not on uneven flooring.
• Cat is Not Using the Tower:
  Solution: Place familiar toys or treats on different levels to encourage exploration. Rub catnip on the scratching posts or platforms. Position the tower in a location your cat frequently visits or near a window for observation.
• Scratching Posts are Worn Out:
  Solution: This is normal wear and tear. Replacement scratching posts can be purchased separately. Contact customer support for assistance.
• Missing or Damaged Parts:
  Solution: If you discover missing or defective parts upon unboxing or during assembly, do not proceed with assembly. Contact customer support immediately for a free exchange of defective parts.
