6. Maintenance

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

• Spot Cleaning: For minor spills or dirt, use a damp cloth with mild soap to spot clean the plush surfaces.
• Vacuuming: Regularly vacuum the entire cat tree to remove loose fur and dust.
• Deep Cleaning: The material is suitable for machine washing. Remove any detachable plush covers if applicable and wash according to fabric care instructions. For non-detachable plush, a gentle steam cleaner can be used.
• Inspection: Periodically check all connections, screws, and the anti-tipping strap for tightness. Re-tighten as necessary. Inspect sisal posts for excessive wear and tear.

7. Troubleshooting

• Issue: Cat tree feels wobbly.
  Solution: Ensure all screws are fully tightened. Verify the anti-tipping strap is securely anchored to a wall stud. Place the cat tree on a flat, even surface.
• Issue: Cat is not using the scratching posts.
  Solution: Try sprinkling catnip on the sisal posts to attract your cat. Demonstrate scratching by gently guiding your cat's paws. Ensure the posts are stable enough for vigorous scratching.
• Issue: Cat is not interested in the cat tree.
  Solution: Place treats or toys on different levels to encourage exploration. Spend time playing with your cat around the tree. Ensure the tree is in a location your cat feels safe and comfortable, often near a window or in a main living area.
• Issue: Parts are missing or damaged.
  Solution: Contact Heybly customer support with your purchase details for assistance.
