Maintenance

Regular cleaning and inspection will extend the life of your cat tree:

• Spot Cleaning: For minor spills or dirt, use a damp cloth with mild soap to spot clean the plush fabric. Avoid excessive moisture.
• Vacuuming: Regularly vacuum the entire cat tree to remove loose fur and dust.
• Sisal Posts: The sisal material is durable but can fray over time. Trim loose threads as needed.
• Hardware Check: Periodically check all screws and bolts to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary to maintain stability.
• Damage Inspection: Inspect for any signs of damage, such as torn fabric, broken components, or excessive wear on scratching surfaces. Replace or repair damaged parts promptly.

Troubleshooting

Issue: Cat Tree is Unstable

• Solution: Ensure all screws are fully tightened. Verify the cat tree is placed on a flat, level surface. Install the included wall anchor kit if not already done.

Issue: Cat is Not Using the Tree

• Solution: Place the cat tree in a prominent location where your cat enjoys spending time, such as near a window. Use catnip spray or treats to attract your cat to the tree. Gently place your cat on different levels to introduce them to the features.

Issue: Sisal Posts are Worn Out

• Solution: Sisal is a natural material designed for scratching and will show wear. This is normal. If posts become excessively worn, contact Heybly customer support for potential replacement parts.
