- Litter Box Area: Clean the litter box compartment frequently to maintain hygiene and minimize odors.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the enclosure for any signs of wear, loose screws, or damage. Tighten any loose fasteners immediately.
- Ventilation: Ensure the rear ventilation holes remain clear and unobstructed for proper airflow.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Enclosure feels wobbly or unstable. | Loose screws or uneven surface. | Check and tighten all screws. Ensure the enclosure is placed on a flat, level surface. Use the anti-tip kit if not already installed. |
| Strong odors emanating from the enclosure. | Infrequent cleaning of the litter box or enclosure. | Clean the litter box and the interior of the enclosure more frequently. Ensure proper ventilation. Consider using odor-absorbing litter or deodorizers. |
| Cat is not using the enclosure. | New environment, unfamiliarity, or discomfort. | Allow your cat time to adjust. Place familiar items (toys, blankets) inside. Ensure the litter box is clean and accessible. Some cats prefer open litter boxes; this enclosure provides a private option. |
| Difficulty during assembly. | Missing parts, incorrect orientation, or unclear instructions. | Refer to the detailed assembly manual. Double-check part numbers and orientations. If parts are missing or damaged, contact customer support. |
