4.2 Installation Steps

Plan Layout: Determine the desired arrangement of the shelves on your wall. Consider your cat's natural climbing and jumping paths. The design allows for flexible configurations.
Locate Wall Studs: Use a stud finder to locate vertical wood studs within your wall. Mark the center of the studs with a pencil. For optimal stability, aim to mount as many brackets as possible directly into studs. The system is designed for 16-inch stud spacing.
Position Components: Hold each component against the wall at your desired height and position. Use a level to ensure it is straight. Mark the screw hole locations with a pencil.
Pre-Drill Holes: For mounting into wood studs, pre-drill pilot holes at the marked locations. For mounting into drywall where studs are not available, use the provided drywall anchors. Follow the anchor manufacturer's instructions for proper installation.
Attach Components: Securely fasten each shelf, hammock, and scratching post to the wall using the provided screws. Ensure all connections are tight and stable. It is recommended to have a second person assist with holding larger pieces during installation.
Final Check: Once all components are installed, gently test their stability by applying light pressure. Ensure there is no wobbling or looseness.

Scratching: The sisal mat and jute-wrapped posts offer dedicated surfaces for scratching, helping to maintain claw health and protect household furniture.
Resting and Lounging: The plush fleece-lined hammock, bed, and perches provide comfortable spots for napping, observing surroundings, and relaxing.

5.1 Encouraging Use

Some cats may need encouragement to use their new wall furniture. Consider these methods:

6. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and safety of your FUKUMARU Cat Wall Shelves.

Cleaning: Wipe wooden surfaces with a dry cloth. The plush fleece coverings on the beds and hammock can be spot cleaned or removed for gentle washing if detachable.
Inspection: Periodically check all screws and mounting hardware to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary.
Wear and Tear: Monitor the sisal mat and jute posts for significant wear. While durable, these materials will naturally fray over time with use. Consider replacing components if they become excessively worn to maintain effectiveness and safety.

7. Troubleshooting

Common issues and their solutions.

Problem	Possible Cause	Solution
Shelves feel wobbly after installation.	Not securely mounted into wall studs or anchors.	Ensure all mounting screws are driven into wall studs. If using drywall anchors, verify they are installed correctly and are appropriate for the wall type and weight. Re-tighten all screws.
Cat is not using the shelves.	Cat needs encouragement or is unfamiliar with the setup.	Use treats, toys, or catnip to entice your cat onto the shelves. Place familiar blankets or toys on the platforms. Ensure the shelves are easily accessible and not too high for initial exploration.
Scratching mat/post is not being used.	Cat prefers other scratching surfaces or needs encouragement.	Apply catnip to the scratching surfaces. Gently guide your cat's paws to the scratching areas. Ensure the scratching surfaces are stable and at a comfortable height for your cat.
