6. Maintenance and Care

Regular cleaning and maintenance will extend the life of your cat tree and keep it hygienic for your pets.

• Detachable Cushion: The top perch cushion is detachable and can be hand-washed or machine-washed on a gentle cycle with cold water. Air dry thoroughly.
• Sisal Rope: The sisal scratching posts can be cleaned with a stiff brush to remove debris. Do not use harsh chemicals.
• Odor Control: If odors develop, sprinkle baking soda on the fabric surfaces, let it sit for 15-30 minutes, then vacuum thoroughly.
• Structural Check: Periodically check all screws and connections for tightness. Re-tighten if necessary to maintain stability.

7. Troubleshooting

Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter:

• Cat Tree is Wobbly:
  Solution: Ensure all screws are tightly fastened. Verify that the cat tree is placed on a flat, even surface. Confirm the anti-tip strap is correctly installed and secured to a wall.
• Cats Not Using the Tree:
  Solution: Try placing catnip on different levels or toys. Place the tree in a location where your cat enjoys spending time, such as near a window. Encourage them with treats or interactive play.
• Damaged or Missing Parts:
  Solution: If you receive damaged parts or find components missing during assembly, do not proceed with assembly. Contact Heybly customer support immediately for assistance.

  Solution: Some fraying is normal with use. If the rope becomes severely damaged, it may be time to consider replacing the cat tree or contacting support for potential replacement parts if available.
