Once assembled, the HOOMIC Cat Tree provides multiple areas for your cat's daily activities:

• Scratching Posts and Board: Encourage your cat to use the sisal-wrapped posts and scratch board to maintain claw health and protect your furniture.

• Multi-Level Play: The various levels and hanging toys promote climbing, jumping, and active play, satisfying your cat's natural instincts.

5. Care and Maintenance

Regular maintenance will extend the life of your cat tree and ensure a hygienic environment for your pet.

• Cleaning: Use a lint roller or vacuum cleaner to remove loose fur and dust from the plush surfaces. For spot cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water, then air dry thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals.
• Sisal Rope: The sisal scratching surfaces are designed to withstand scratching. If they become frayed, you can trim loose threads.
• Stability Check: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary to maintain stability.
• Placement: Place the cat tree in a dry area, away from direct sunlight or excessive humidity, to prevent material degradation.

6. Troubleshooting

• Problem: The cat tree wobbles or feels unstable.
• Solution: Ensure all screws and connections are fully tightened. Verify that the base is on a flat, level surface. Utilize the anti-tip strap to secure the tree to a wall.

6.2. Cat Not Using the Tree

• Problem: Your cat shows little interest in the cat tree.
• Solution: Place the tree in a high-traffic area where your cat spends time. Use catnip spray or sprinkle catnip on the tree to attract them. Place treats or favorite toys on different levels to encourage exploration.
