• Sisal Scratching Surfaces: Periodically brush the sisal surfaces to remove loose fur and debris. If the sisal becomes heavily worn, consider replacing the scratching board or post if possible.

7. Troubleshooting

• Wobbling Cat Tree: If the cat tree feels unstable or wobbly, first ensure it is placed on a completely flat and level surface. Then, re-check all assembly screws and connections, tightening any that are loose.
• Cat Not Using Tree: Cats may need time to adjust to new furniture. Try placing familiar toys, treats, or catnip on different levels of the tree to encourage exploration. You can also gently place your cat on the tree to help them get accustomed to it.
• Damaged Components: If any part of the cat tree becomes damaged, cease use immediately. Contact PETSITE customer service for assistance with replacement parts or further guidance.
