Setup and Assembly Instructions

Assembly is designed to be straightforward. All parts are numbered. Follow the steps sequentially. An extra person may be helpful for certain steps.

Step 1: Prepare the Base

Unpack all components and lay them out on a clean, soft surface. Identify the base panels for the litter box enclosure. Assemble the enclosure according to the provided diagrams, ensuring all connections are secure.

Step 2: Construct the Cat House and Lower Platforms

Attach the cat house components to the top of the litter box enclosure. Then, begin attaching the lower support posts and platforms. The upper structure features a twist-and-lock mechanism for easier assembly. Ensure posts are firmly screwed into place.

Step 3: Install Upper Levels and Accessories

Continue building upwards, attaching the remaining platforms, sisal posts, and the hammock. Secure the teaser balls and spring ball toys to their designated locations. Double-check all connections for stability.

Step 4: Secure with Anti-Tip Kit

Once fully assembled, position the cat tree in its desired location. Use the provided anti-tip kit to secure the top of the cat tree to a wall stud. This step is crucial for preventing the tree from tipping over, especially with active cats.

Operating Instructions

Litter Box Enclosure

The base of the cat tree features a hidden litter box enclosure. Open the front doors to place a standard-sized litter box inside. The arch entrance allows your cat easy access while keeping the litter box discreetly out of sight. The maximum compatible litter box size is approximately 19.7 inches (L) x 18.5 inches (W).

Cat House and Hammock

The integrated cat house and soft hammock provide comfortable resting spots for your cat. Encourage your cat to explore these areas by placing treats or familiar bedding inside.

Scratching Posts and Rubbing Post

The cat tree includes sisal-wrapped scratching posts and a unique rubbing post. These features are designed to satisfy your cat's natural scratching instincts and provide a comfortable surface for rubbing, helping to relieve stress and maintain claw health.

Play Features

The cat tree is equipped with teaser balls and a spring ball to encourage play and activity. These toys stimulate your cat's energy and curiosity, promoting physical exercise.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: The plush surfaces can be spot cleaned with a damp cloth and mild detergent. For deeper cleaning, vacuum regularly to remove loose fur and debris. The wooden surfaces can be wiped clean with a damp cloth.
• Litter Box Enclosure: Regularly clean the litter box inside the enclosure. The enclosure itself can be wiped down as needed.
• Inspection: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary.
• Scratching Posts: Sisal posts are designed for scratching and will show wear over time. Monitor their condition and consider replacement if they become excessively frayed.

Troubleshooting

Issue: Cat tree feels wobbly.

Solution: Ensure all assembly screws are fully tightened. Verify the cat tree is placed on a level surface. Confirm the anti-tip kit is properly installed and secured to a wall stud.

Issue: Cat is not using the scratching posts.

Solution: Try sprinkling catnip on the sisal posts to attract your cat. Gently guide your cat's paws to the posts to demonstrate their use. Ensure the posts are stable and do not move when scratched.

Issue: Litter box enclosure doors do not close properly.

Solution: Check for any obstructions inside the enclosure. Ensure the hinges are correctly aligned and tightened. Verify that the enclosure panels were assembled squarely.
