4. Setup & Installation

The COZIWOW Wall Mounted Cat Furniture is designed for straightforward installation. All components are labeled and pre-drilled. Please refer to the detailed instructions provided in your package for specific steps. Below are general guidelines and important considerations:

1. Choose Location: Select a wall area that is suitable for mounting and provides ample space for your cat to climb and explore. Consider placing components near windows or other areas of interest for your cat.
2. Identify Wall Type: Determine if your wall is solid (e.g., cement, brick, concrete hollow block) or drywall. The type of wall dictates the appropriate mounting hardware.
3. Locate Studs (for Drywall): If installing on drywall, use a stud finder to locate wall studs. For optimal stability and safety, ensure that both sides of components mounted on drywall are secured into studs.
4. Mark Positions: Hold each component against the wall at your desired height and arrangement. Use a pencil to mark the drilling points for the triangular metal brackets. Ensure marks are level.
5. Drill Pilot Holes: Drill pilot holes at the marked positions. Use a drill bit appropriate for your wall type and the provided screws/anchors.
6. Install Anchors (if needed): For solid walls or if studs are not available for drywall, insert the appropriate wall anchors into the pilot holes.
7. Attach Brackets: Secure the triangular metal brackets to the wall using the provided screws.
8. Mount Components: Attach the cat furniture components to the installed brackets. Ensure all screws are tightened securely.
9. Customize Layout: The modular design allows for various arrangements. You can customize the activity routes to suit your cat's preferences and your home's layout.

Important Note:

• While the provided anchors are generally sufficient, some users have found that upgrading to heavy-duty anchors can enhance long-term stability, especially for heavier or more active cats.
• A drill is required for installation.

5. Operation (Using the Cat Furniture)

This wall-mounted cat furniture set provides a stimulating and comfortable environment for your feline companion. Cats can utilize the various components for:

• Climbing and Jumping: The multi-level shelves, bridge, and cat tree offer opportunities for vertical exploration and exercise.
• Scratching: The jute rope scratching posts on the cat house and cat tree, along with the dedicated scratching board, satisfy your cat's natural urge to scratch, helping to protect your household furniture.
• Resting and Observing: The comfortable cat house and perches provide elevated spots for your cat to relax, nap, and observe their surroundings from a secure vantage point.
• Play: The varied layout encourages playful interaction and can be enhanced by placing toys or treats on different levels.

To encourage your cat to use the new furniture, you may place catnip (included), favorite toys, or treats on the shelves and inside the cat house.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and safety of your COZIWOW Wall Mounted Cat Furniture:

• Cleaning: The flannel surfaces can be cleaned by hand washing. Use a mild detergent and allow to air dry completely. Avoid harsh chemicals that may irritate your cat.
• Check Stability: Periodically inspect all mounting points, screws, and brackets. Tighten any loose connections to maintain stability.
• Inspect Components: Check the jute rope scratching areas for excessive wear. While durable, heavily used areas may eventually require replacement to remain effective.
• General Condition: Examine the particleboard and flannel for any signs of damage or deterioration.

7. Troubleshooting

Problem: The cat furniture feels unstable or wobbly.

Solution: Re-check all mounting screws and ensure they are tightly secured. Verify that appropriate anchors were used for your wall type, especially if installing on drywall. If necessary, consider using stronger, heavy-duty wall anchors for increased stability.

Problem: My cat is not using the furniture.

Solution: Cats can be cautious with new items. Try placing catnip (included), favorite treats, or familiar toys on the shelves to encourage exploration. Guide your cat gently onto the lower levels. Ensure the furniture is in a location your cat frequently visits or enjoys observing from.

Problem: The steps/perches seem too small for my cat.

Solution: While designed for various cat sizes, some larger or heavier cats may find certain perches less comfortable. Ensure the 22 lbs weight limit is not exceeded. You may need to observe your cat's comfort and adjust the layout or consider additional, larger perches if available.
