1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging. Lay them out on a clean, soft surface to prevent scratches.
2. Identify Base: Locate the largest, heaviest board, which will serve as the base of the cat tree.
3. Attach First Level Posts: Secure the shortest support posts to the base using the provided screws and Allen wrench. Ensure they are tightened firmly.
4. Install Lower Platforms/Condos: Attach the first set of platforms or the lower cat condo(s) to the posts. Pay attention to the orientation of the condo openings.
5. Add Ladder (if applicable): If your model includes a ladder, attach it between the base and a lower platform as indicated in the diagram.

Operating Instructions

The PayLessHere Cat Tree is designed to provide a stimulating and comfortable environment for your indoor cats. No complex operation is required; simply place it in a suitable location and allow your cats to explore.

• Placement: Position the cat tree in a quiet corner, near a window, or in a common area where your cat enjoys spending time. Ensure it is away from high-traffic zones to prevent accidental bumps.
• Encouraging Use: Introduce your cat to the tree by placing treats, catnip, or their favorite toys on different levels. Gently guide them to the scratching posts.
• Multi-Level Exploration: The various platforms, condos, and perches offer opportunities for climbing, resting, and observing. Cats can utilize the sisal posts for scratching to maintain claw health.

• Safety: Always ensure the tree remains stable. If it wobbles, check and tighten all connections.

Maintenance

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

• Cleaning:
  • Spot clean soiled areas with a damp cloth and mild, pet-safe detergent. Avoid saturating the fabric.
  • For general cleaning, use a lint roller or vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment to remove pet hair and dust.
  • The manufacturer recommends "Hand Wash Only" for specific components if they are removable, though the entire structure is generally spot-cleaned.
• Inspection: Periodically check all screws and bolts for tightness. Retighten as necessary to maintain stability.
• Sisal Rope: The sisal scratching posts are designed to withstand scratching. If the rope becomes excessively frayed or detached, consider wrapping it with new sisal rope or replacing the post if possible.
• Damage: If any structural components (platforms, posts) become damaged, discontinue use and contact customer support for replacement parts or advice.
