Operating Guidelines

The Hey-brother Cat Tree is designed for intuitive use by your cat. Encourage your cat to explore the different levels and features:

• Exploration: Allow your cat to explore the tree at their own pace. You can use treats or toys to encourage them to climb to higher platforms or enter the cave.
• Scratching: If your cat is not immediately using the sisal posts, gently guide their paws to the scratching surfaces. The natural sisal is appealing to cats for claw maintenance.
• Resting: The various platforms, cave, and basket offer different comfort levels. Your cat will choose their preferred spot for napping and relaxation.
• Play: The hanging toy provides an interactive element. You can also dangle other toys from the platforms to engage your cat in play.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Use a lint roller or vacuum cleaner to remove loose fur and dust from the plush surfaces. For minor stains, spot clean with a damp cloth and mild pet-safe detergent. Allow to air dry completely.
• Sisal Care: The sisal scratching surfaces are durable but will show wear over time. Regularly remove loose fibers. If the sisal becomes heavily frayed, consider replacing the affected post if possible, or monitor for sharp edges.
• Structural Integrity: Periodically check all screws and connections for tightness. Re-tighten as necessary to maintain stability.
