4.2. Step-by-Step Assembly

1. Base Cabinet Assembly: Begin by assembling the main cabinet structure. Attach the adjustable feet to the bottom panel (Part 7) using the provided screws (Part N). Then, connect the side panels and internal dividers to form the litter box enclosure. Ensure all connections are secure.
2. Litter Box Enclosure Features: Insert the removable scratching board (Part 24) into its designated slot within the enclosure. This provides an additional scratching surface for your cat.
3. Upper Box Assembly: Assemble the smaller upper box that sits on top of the main cabinet. This box will serve as a cozy hideaway for your cat. Insert the soft cushion (Part 23) into this box.
4. Attaching Scratching Posts: Secure the sisal-covered scratching posts (Parts 19, 20, 21) to the designated points on the upper box and main cabinet using the appropriate hardware. These posts are essential for your cat's claw health.
5. Installing Perches and Basket: Attach the plush-covered perches (Parts 15, 16) and the soft basket (Part 22) to the top of the scratching posts. These provide elevated spots for your cat to rest and observe.
6. Attaching Doors: Install the two cabinet doors (Parts 17, 18) to the front of the main enclosure using the hinges and magnetic catches. Ensure they open and close smoothly.

5.2. Using the Features

• Litter Box Enclosure: The spacious cabinet with double doors can house a small to medium-sized litter box (internal dimensions: 56 cm L × 43.1 cm L × 40 cm H). This keeps the litter box out of sight and helps contain odors and mess. The enclosure also features ventilation holes at the back to ensure proper air circulation.
• Scratching Posts and Board: Encourage your cat to use the sisal-covered posts and the removable scratching board to satisfy their natural urge to scratch, protecting your furniture.
• Cozy Hideaways: The enclosed upper box with a soft cushion and the side hideaway provide secure and comfortable spots for your cat to nap or relax.
• Perches and Basket: The elevated perches and soft basket offer observation points and additional resting areas, catering to your cat's desire for high vantage points.
• Play Toy: The suspended pompom toy provides an interactive element to stimulate your cat's playful instincts.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe wooden surfaces with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
• Plush Fabric: For the plush-covered areas (perches, basket, cushion), use a lint roller or a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment to remove pet hair. Spot clean with a mild detergent and water if necessary, then air dry.
• Sisal Posts: The sisal material is durable for scratching. If it becomes worn, you may need to replace the posts over time. For specific sisal care, refer to the manufacturer's website or contact customer service.
• Regular Checks: Periodically inspect all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten any loose fasteners to maintain stability and safety.

7. Troubleshooting

• Product Wobbles: Ensure the cat tree is placed on a flat, level surface. Use the adjustable feet at the base to compensate for any unevenness in the floor. Check that all assembly screws are securely tightened.
• Cat Not Using Scratching Posts: Encourage your cat by sprinkling catnip on the sisal posts or by gently guiding their paws to the scratching surface. Ensure the posts are stable and do not wobble when scratched.
• Cat Not Using Enclosure: Place a familiar blanket or toy inside the enclosure to make it more inviting. Ensure the litter box inside is clean and appealing to your cat.
• Odor in Enclosure: Ensure the litter box is cleaned regularly. The ventilation holes are designed to help, but proper litter box hygiene is key. Consider using odor-absorbing litter or deodorizers.
