To encourage your cat to use the Heybly HCT033BR Tall Cat Tree:

• Placement: Position the cat tree in a quiet area where your cat feels safe, preferably near a window or a frequently used room.
• Introduction: Gently introduce your cat to the tree. Place treats or familiar toys on different levels to encourage exploration.
