Maintenance and Care
- Cleaning: The cat tree is covered with high-quality flannel. For general cleaning, use a lint roller or a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment to remove loose fur and debris. For spot cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water, then air dry thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the cat tree for any signs of wear, especially on the scratching posts and toy attachments. Replace worn parts if necessary to ensure continued safety and functionality.
- Stability Check: Regularly check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten any loose components to maintain the tree's stability.
Troubleshooting
- Wobbling: If the cat tree feels unstable, ensure it is placed on a level surface. Double-check that all screws are fully tightened. If wobbling persists, ensure the anti-toppling strap is correctly installed and secured to a wall stud.
- Cats Not Using Scratching Posts: Encourage use by sprinkling catnip on the sisal posts or hanging favorite toys nearby. Demonstrate scratching by gently guiding your cat's paws.
- Missing Parts: If any parts are missing upon arrival, please contact customer support immediately with your purchase details.
