Operating Instructions
The PETEPELA Cat Tree is designed to cater to your cat's natural instincts for scratching, climbing, playing, and resting.
-
Scratching Posts and Ramp: The cat tree features multiple scratching posts wrapped with natural sisal rope and a sisal-covered ramp. Encourage your cat to use these surfaces for scratching to maintain claw health and protect your furniture.

- Condos and Hammock: The enclosed condos and soft hammock provide secure and comfortable spaces for your cat to rest, sleep, or observe their surroundings.
- Perches and Platforms: Elevated platforms and perches offer vantage points for your cat to survey their territory and engage in climbing activities.
- Hanging Toys: The included hanging toys are designed to stimulate play and hunting instincts. These are often replaceable; check with the manufacturer for replacement options.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance will extend the life of your PETEPELA Cat Tree and ensure a hygienic environment for your pets.
- Cleaning Plush Surfaces: The top cat basket (perch) is designed to be removable and machine washable for easy cleaning. For other plush surfaces, use a vacuum cleaner to remove loose fur and debris. Spot clean with a mild pet-safe detergent and damp cloth as needed. Allow to air dry completely.
- Sisal Rope Care: Inspect sisal scratching posts regularly for fraying or damage. While the sisal rope is reinforced for durability, heavy use may require replacement over time.
- Structural Integrity: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten any loose fasteners to maintain stability.
- Toy Replacement: Hanging toys may become worn or detached with active play. Replace them as necessary to keep your cat engaged and prevent choking hazards.
