Troubleshooting
Cat is hesitant to use the tree
Sprinkle catnip on the baskets or poles, or place familiar toys on the levels to encourage exploration. Ensure the tree is placed in a location your cat frequents.
Wobbly structure
Check that all screws and connectors are tightened securely. Ensure the base is on a level surface.
Cushions are not staying in place
Ensure the cushions are the correct size for the baskets. If they continue to slide, consider using a small, pet-safe adhesive strip or Velcro on the underside of the cushion and inside the basket.
Sisal rope is fraying excessively
This is normal wear and tear. Minor fraying is expected. For significant unraveling, you may need to re-wrap the pole with new sisal rope or consider replacing the pole.
