8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Cat tree wobbles or is unstable. | Tension bolts are not tight enough; connections are loose. | Ensure the top tension bolts are fully extended and securely pressed against the ceiling. Check and tighten all screws and connections between pole sections and platforms. |
| Cats are not using the scratching posts. | Cats may prefer other scratching surfaces; unfamiliarity. | Encourage use by sprinkling catnip on the sisal posts or gently guiding your cat's paws to the posts. Place the cat tree in a prominent area. |
