Maintenance
Regular maintenance will extend the life of your cat tree and ensure a hygienic environment for your pet.

- Hardware Check: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Retighten if necessary.
- Damage Inspection: Inspect for any signs of wear and tear, such as frayed sisal, loose fabric, or unstable platforms. Address any issues promptly to maintain safety.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Cat tree is wobbly/unstable. | Loose connections; uneven floor; not secured to wall. | Tighten all screws and bolts. Ensure placement on a flat surface. Use the anti-tipping strap to secure to a wall. |
| Cat not using scratching posts. | Preference for other surfaces; unfamiliarity. | Encourage use with catnip or toys. Gently guide your cat's paws to the sisal. Ensure the posts are stable enough for vigorous scratching. |
| Hanging toy is damaged or detached. | Normal wear and tear from play. | Reattach if possible. If severely damaged, remove to prevent choking hazard and replace with a new cat-safe toy. |
