Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Cat tree feels wobbly | Loose connections; uneven floor. | Tighten all screws. Ensure the tree is on a flat, level surface. Consider placing it against a wall for added support. |
| Sisal posts are fraying excessively | Normal wear and tear; very active scratching. | This is expected over time. If severe, consider replacing the affected post if available, or monitor for sharp edges. |
| Cushions are dirty or matted | Regular use. | Remove cushions and hand wash as per maintenance instructions. Allow to air dry completely. |
| Cat not using the tree | New environment; preference for other spots. | Place catnip on the tree or encourage play with toys on the levels. Ensure it's in a location your cat frequents. |
