Wall Mounting

To ensure the wall house is strong enough, make sure you are drilling the screws into a wall stud or masonry block.

For Drywall Installation:

• Step 1: Locate Studs. Use a stud finder (not provided) to locate the wooden studs in the drywall. Wooden studs are typically spaced 16 inches (406mm) apart. Mark the positions where you will drill holes.
• Step 2: Install Components. Align the pre-assembled components with the marked stud locations. Use screws A7 to securely install the components into the wooden studs.

For Solid Wall (Concrete/Masonry) Installation:

• Step 1: Drill Holes. Mark the desired installation points. Drill holes into the concrete or solid wall using an 8mm power drill. The depth of the drill hole should be greater than 70mm.
• Step 2: Insert Expansion Screws. Gently tap the A6 expansion screws into the drilled holes using a hammer until they are flush with the wall surface.
• Step 3: Install Components. Align the pre-assembled components with the inserted expansion screws. Use screws A7 to securely install the components into the expansion screws.

Usage

The PawGiant Cat Wall Shelves are designed to encourage active play and provide elevated resting spots. Cats naturally enjoy climbing and observing their surroundings from high vantage points. This set allows for a personalized vertical playground that adapts to your home and your cat's jumping style.

• Encourage your cat to explore the shelves by placing treats or toys on different levels.
• The scratching posts and board help satisfy natural scratching instincts, protecting your furniture.
• The cat bed and cave offer secure and comfortable spots for napping and relaxation.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Regularly vacuum the plush surfaces to remove cat hair and dust. For spot cleaning, use a mild pet-safe cleaner and a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
• Inspection: Periodically check all screws and brackets to ensure they remain tight and secure. Tighten any loose fasteners immediately.
• Damage: If any part of the shelves becomes damaged, discontinue use and contact customer support for replacement parts or advice.

Troubleshooting

• Shelves feel unstable: Ensure all brackets are securely fastened to wall studs (for drywall) or using appropriate expansion screws (for solid walls). Re-tighten all screws.
• Cats not using shelves: Try placing treats, catnip, or favorite toys on the shelves to encourage exploration. Ensure the layout is accessible and appealing to your cat's climbing abilities.
• Scratching posts/board worn out: Sisal is a natural material that will wear over time. Consider replacing worn-out scratching surfaces to maintain your cat's interest and protect your furniture.
