Troubleshooting
Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter:
- Instability: If the cat tree feels wobbly, ensure it is placed on a flat, level surface. Re-check and tighten all assembly screws.
- Cat Not Using the Tree: Cats can be particular. Try placing the tree in a different location, especially near a window or a favorite resting spot. Use catnip spray on the scratching posts or platforms to attract your cat. Place favorite toys or treats on the tree.
- Loose Components: If a platform or post becomes loose, immediately re-tighten the corresponding screws. Do not allow your cat to use the tree if it is unstable.
