Setup and Installation
Proper installation is crucial for the safety and stability of your FUKUMARU Cat Wall Shelves. This product is designed for mounting on 16-inch drywall, as well as brick, solid, or concrete walls. Ensure you have the necessary tools before beginning.
Tools Required:
- Drill
- Level
- Screwdriver
- Stud Finder (for drywall installation)
- Pencil for marking
Installation Steps:
- Identify a suitable wall location. For drywall, use a stud finder to locate wall studs spaced 16 inches apart.
- Hold the shelf assembly against the wall at the desired height and use a level to ensure it is straight. Mark the drilling points accurately with a pencil.
- For drywall installation, align the mounting holes with the center of the wall studs. Directly install the product onto the wall studs using the provided screws.
- For brick, solid, or concrete walls, drill pilot holes at the marked points. Insert the provided inflation anchors into the pilot holes, then secure the shelf assembly with the provided screws.
- Ensure all screws are securely tightened before allowing your cat to use the shelves. Verify the stability by gently applying pressure to the platforms.

- Toys: Position your cat's favorite toys on the shelves to entice them to climb and play.
- Laser Pointer: Use a laser pointer to guide your cat onto the shelves, tapping into their natural hunting instincts.
- Catnip: Sprinkle a small amount of catnip on the cushions or platforms to attract your cat and make the space more appealing.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and hygiene of your cat's wall shelves.
- Cushion Care: The rabbit velour cushions are removable and machine-washable. Separate the cushion from the wooden platform before washing. Use a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent. Air dry or tumble dry on low heat.
- Wooden Parts: The solid rubber wood components have been treated with three layers of protective wax. To clean, wipe with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals. Keep the product indoors to protect the wood.

Troubleshooting
- Cushion Slippage: If the cushions tend to slide on the wooden platforms, consider adding adhesive-backed Velcro strips (not included) to the underside of the cushion and the top of the platform for increased security.
- Instability: Ensure the shelves are mounted directly into wall studs (for drywall) or using appropriate anchors (for brick/concrete) as per installation instructions. Re-check all screws for tightness. If instability persists, consult a professional for installation.
