- Base Assembly: Attach the lowest scratching posts and the cat condo to the base plate. Ensure screws are tightened securely.
- Platform Installation: Systematically attach the various platforms and hammocks, working your way upwards. Pay attention to the orientation of each platform as indicated in the assembly guide.
- Scratching Post Integration: Ensure all sisal-wrapped scratching posts are firmly screwed into place.
- Adjustable Top Pole: Once the main structure is assembled, attach the adjustable telescopic pole to the top platform.
- Ceiling Tensioning: Position the cat tree in its desired location. Extend the telescopic pole until it firmly presses against the ceiling, providing stability. The top part of the pole is covered with plush fabric for an integrated look.

For enhanced stability, the cat tree can be mounted against a wall using the provided wall anchor kit (if included). This prevents wobbling during active play.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance will extend the life of your cat tree and ensure your cat's safety.
- Cleaning: Use a lint roller or vacuum cleaner to remove loose fur and dust from the plush surfaces. Spot clean any soiled areas with a damp cloth and mild pet-safe cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Inspection: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary.
- Wear and Tear: Inspect scratching posts for significant wear. While sisal is durable, it will fray over time. Consider replacing heavily worn posts to maintain scratching appeal.
- Stability Check: Regularly verify the tension of the ceiling pole to ensure the tree remains stable.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Cat tree wobbles or is unstable. | Loose connections; insufficient ceiling tension; uneven floor. | Tighten all screws. Adjust the telescopic pole to increase ceiling tension. Ensure the tree is on a flat surface; use shims if necessary. Consider wall anchoring. |
| Cat is not using scratching posts. | Prefers other surfaces; posts are too worn; cat needs encouragement. | Apply catnip to the sisal posts. Gently guide your cat's paws to the posts. Ensure other scratching options are less appealing. |
| Parts are missing or damaged upon arrival. | Manufacturing defect or shipping damage. | Contact Heybly customer support with your purchase details for assistance. |
