Care and Maintenance
Regular maintenance will extend the life of your cat tree and ensure your cat's safety.
- Screw Firmness: Check the firmness of all screws and connections at least once a month. Tighten any loose hardware to maintain structural integrity.
- Cleaning: The cat tree's plush surfaces, especially the removable covers on the top perches, should be vacuumed frequently to remove cat hair and dust. Spot clean any soiled areas with a damp cloth and mild, pet-safe cleaner.

- Sisal Rope: Inspect sisal scratching posts for wear and tear. While durable, sisal rope may fray over time with heavy use. Consider replacing or re-wrapping heavily damaged sections if necessary.
- Toy Inspection: Regularly check hanging toys for damage. Replace or remove broken toys to prevent ingestion or injury.
Troubleshooting
Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter:
- Cat Tree Wobbles:
- Ensure all screws are tightly fastened.
- Verify the cat tree is placed on a flat, stable surface.
- Crucially, use the provided anti-tip kit to secure the cat tree to a wall. This is especially important for tall cat trees and households with multiple active cats.
- Cats Not Using Scratching Posts:
- Try sprinkling catnip on the sisal posts to attract your cat.
- Gently guide your cat's paws to the posts to demonstrate their use.
- Hanging Toys Break Easily:
- The hanging toys are designed for play but may wear out with vigorous use. Replace them with new cat-safe toys as needed.
