Assembly Instructions

Follow these steps carefully for a smooth assembly process. It is recommended to have a second person assist with certain steps for stability.

1. Prepare the Area: Clear a spacious, clean, and soft area for assembly to prevent damage to the furniture and your floor.
2. Identify Components: Unpack all parts and identify them using the provided parts list in your manual. Group similar hardware together.
3. Assemble Side Panels: Attach the side panels to the bottom panel using the specified screws and dowels. Ensure the arched entrance panel is correctly oriented.

5. Attach Back Panel: Fasten the back panel to the assembled frame.
6. Mount Doors: Attach the hinges to the cabinet doors and then secure the doors to the main frame. Ensure they open and close smoothly.
7. Install Handles and Magnetic Catches: Attach the door handles and install the magnetic catches to keep the doors securely closed.

Operating Instructions

Using as a Litter Box Enclosure

• Litter Box Placement: Open the cabinet doors and place your cat's litter box inside. Ensure there is enough space for your cat to enter, turn around, and exit comfortably through the arched side entrance.
• Recommended Litter Box Size: The enclosure is designed to accommodate most standard litter boxes. Refer to the specifications section for internal dimensions and recommended litter box sizes.
• Odor Control: The enclosed design helps contain odors. For best results, use a high-quality litter and clean the litter box regularly.

Using as a Cat House/Bed

• Alternative Use: If not used for a litter box, the internal space can serve as a cozy hideaway or sleeping area for your cat. Place a comfortable cat bed or cushion inside.
• Adaptation: Some cats may need time to adjust to a new enclosure. Encourage use by placing treats or familiar toys inside.

Maintenance and Care

• Cleaning: Wipe the exterior and interior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the engineered wood finish.
• Spills: Immediately wipe up any liquid spills to prevent water damage or staining to the wood.
• Regular Inspection: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Retighten if necessary.
• Ventilation: While the enclosure helps contain odors, ensure the room is well-ventilated, especially after cleaning the litter box.

Troubleshooting

Cat Not Using the Enclosure

• Gradual Introduction: Place the enclosure in a familiar location. Leave the doors open initially to allow your cat to explore.
• Familiar Scent: Place a small amount of used litter in the new box to attract your cat.
• Privacy: Ensure the enclosure is in a quiet, low-traffic area where your cat feels secure.

Stability Issues

• Check Connections: Ensure all screws and fasteners are properly tightened.
• Level Surface: Place the furniture on a flat, level surface. Use furniture pads if needed to stabilize.
