Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your cat tree, refer to the following common problems and solutions.
- Issue: The cat tree feels unstable or wobbly.
Solution: Re-check the tension rod at the top of the cat tree. Ensure it is fully extended and tightened against the ceiling. Verify that all screws and connections throughout the structure are secure. Ensure the base is on a level surface. - Issue: Parts appear damaged or broken (e.g., posts, platforms).
Solution: Discontinue use immediately. Contact customer support for replacement parts or further assistance. Do not attempt to repair with unsuitable materials, as this may compromise safety. - Issue: My cat is not using the cat tree.
Solution: Try placing treats or familiar toys on different levels to encourage exploration. Use catnip to attract your cat to the scratching posts or resting areas. Ensure the cat tree is in a location your cat feels safe and comfortable.
