Operating Instructions

1. Placement: Position the enclosure in your desired location, ensuring it is on a stable, level surface.
2. Litter Box Insertion: Open one of the magnetic doors and place a standard-sized litter box (up to 18" x 15") into one of the compartments.
3. Second Compartment Use: The second compartment can be used for another litter box, a cat bed, or a feeding station.
4. Cat Entry/Exit: Cats can enter and exit through the central arched opening. The 1.6-inch baffle at the entry helps reduce litter tracking.
5. Odor Control: The back panel features ventilation slats to promote airflow and reduce odors.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Regularly clean the interior and exterior surfaces with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that may damage the wood finish or be harmful to pets.
• Litter Box Cleaning: Remove and clean the litter box as frequently as needed to maintain hygiene and reduce odors.
• Scratch Pad Replacement: Inspect the scratching pad periodically. Replace it when it becomes worn to ensure your cat continues to use it.
• Odor Management: Utilize the ventilation slats by ensuring they are not blocked. Consider using odor-absorbing products within the litter box area if needed.

Troubleshooting

Problem: Strong Odor

Solution: Ensure the litter box is cleaned regularly. Check that the ventilation slats on the back panel are clear and not obstructed. Consider using a higher quality litter or an odor-absorbing product inside the enclosure.

Problem: Cat not using the enclosure

Solution: Introduce your cat to the enclosure gradually. Place familiar items like their bed or toys inside. Ensure the litter box is clean and accessible. Some cats may need time to adjust to a new environment.

Problem: Doors do not close securely

Solution: Check the alignment of the magnetic catches and hinges. Tighten any loose screws. Ensure the enclosure is on a level surface, as unevenness can affect door alignment.
