Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Cage feels unstable or wobbly. | Not all connectors are fully secured; cage is on an uneven surface. | Ensure all interlocking clips are firmly engaged. Move the cage to a flat, level surface. |
| Platforms appear to bend under pet's weight. | Pet exceeds the platform's weight limit. | Ensure the weight of the cat on the platform does not exceed 22 lbs (10 kg). If multiple cats are using the cage, distribute their weight appropriately. |
| Doors do not close or latch properly. | Misalignment of panels; latch mechanism obstructed. | Check that the cage panels around the door are correctly aligned. Clear any debris from the latch mechanism. |
