7. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your litter box enclosure.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Doors do not close properly or align. | Hinges or magnetic catches are misaligned; screws are loose. | Adjust the hinges or magnetic catches. Ensure all screws are tightened. If a plastic piece for the magnet is broken, a strong adhesive may be used for repair. |
| Litter is still tracking outside the enclosure. | Cat exits directly onto the floor; litter box is too close to the entrance. | Place a litter mat inside the enclosure, directly in front of the cat's exit. Ensure the litter box is positioned to allow space for your cat to shake off litter before exiting. |
| Enclosure feels unstable or wobbly. | Loose fasteners; uneven floor surface. | Check and tighten all assembly screws. Ensure the enclosure is placed on a level surface. |
| Unpleasant odors persist. | Infrequent litter box cleaning; inadequate ventilation. | Increase the frequency of litter box cleaning. Consider using odor-absorbing products inside the enclosure. |
