Maintenance

Regular maintenance will extend the lifespan of your DAUSOLA Cat Enclosure and ensure a safe environment for your pets.

• Cleaning:
  • Wipe down wooden surfaces with a damp cloth and mild, pet-safe cleaner as needed.
  • Clean the wire mesh with a brush or cloth to remove debris.
  • Ensure the sun-panel roof is clear of leaves or snow to maintain light transmission and prevent excessive weight.
• Inspection:
  • Periodically check all screws, bolts, and latches for tightness. Tighten any loose fasteners.
  • Inspect the wire mesh for any damage or sharp edges that could harm your cats.
  • Examine wooden components for cracks, splinters, or signs of rot, especially after prolonged exposure to harsh weather.
• Weather Protection: While the enclosure is weatherproof, consider additional covers during extreme weather conditions (e.g., heavy snow, prolonged rain) to further protect the wood and interior.

Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your cat enclosure.

• Issue: Enclosure feels wobbly after assembly.

  Solution: Re-check all connections and ensure screws are fully tightened. Verify the enclosure is placed on a completely level surface. The upgraded structure is designed for stability, so ensure all frame components are correctly interlocked.

• Issue: Door does not close or latch properly.

  Solution: Inspect the hinges and latch mechanism for any obstructions or misalignment. Adjust hinges if necessary, and ensure the latch components are securely fastened.

• Issue: Water pooling inside after rain.

  Solution: Ensure the waterproof sun-panel roof is correctly installed and overlaps the frame adequately. Check for any gaps in the roof or wall panels. Clear any debris from the roof that might impede water runoff.

• Issue: Cats are not using the platforms/houses.

  Solution: Place treats, favorite toys, or comfortable bedding on the platforms and inside the houses to encourage exploration and use. Give your cats time to adjust to their new environment.
