Maintenance

• Cleaning: The faux fur material should be spot cleaned with a damp cloth and mild detergent. For deeper cleaning, vacuum regularly to remove pet hair and debris. The top perch pad is detachable for easier cleaning. Do not machine wash or dry clean the entire structure.
• Inspection: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary.
• Wear and Tear: Monitor sisal scratching posts for significant wear. While designed to be durable, heavily used posts may eventually need replacement to maintain their effectiveness.

Troubleshooting

• Wobbling: If the cat tree feels unstable, first ensure it is placed on a level surface. Then, check all assembly screws and tighten any that are loose. Confirm the anti-tip strap is securely fastened to both the cat tree and a wall stud.
• Parts Not Fitting: Double-check the assembly instructions and diagrams to ensure you are using the correct parts for each step. Some posts may appear similar but have slight length differences.
• Cats Not Using the Tree: Encourage your cats by placing treats or toys on different levels. You can also use catnip to attract them to the scratching posts and resting areas.
