Proper maintenance will extend the lifespan of your Heybly Cat Tree and ensure a clean environment for your pet.

• Hardware Check: Periodically check all screws, bolts, and connections to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten as needed to maintain stability.
• Scratching Material: Monitor the condition of the sisal scratching posts and board. If they become excessively worn, consider replacing them to encourage continued use and prevent damage to other household items.
• Indoor Storage: This cat tree is designed for indoor use. Avoid exposing it to outdoor elements, which can cause damage to the materials.

If you encounter any issues with your Heybly Cat Tree, refer to the following common solutions:

• Instability: If the cat tree feels wobbly, ensure it is placed on a level surface. Re-check all assembly connections and tighten any loose screws.
• Parts Not Fitting: Double-check the assembly diagram and part labels. Ensure you are using the correct hardware for each step and that parts are oriented correctly. Do not force parts together.
• Cat Not Using the Tree: Cats may need time to adjust to new furniture. Try placing familiar toys, treats, or catnip on different levels of the tree to encourage exploration.
