Troubleshooting
Cat is reluctant to use the barrel
Try placing a familiar catnip toy or a piece of your cat's favorite bedding inside the den to encourage exploration.
Barrel feels unstable on the floor
Ensure the barrel is placed on a completely flat, level surface and that it is tucked securely into a corner if necessary.
Sisal material is shedding
Minor shedding is normal as the cat sharpens its claws; simply vacuum the area around the base to keep the floor clean.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The barrel arrives as a vertical unit requiring minimal assembly space. Given its dimensions of 37.5 x 37.5 cm, it is best placed against a wall or in a quiet room corner to ensure maximum stability. To maintain the unit, regularly vacuum the plush top to remove loose fur. For the sisal and seaweed scratching panels, simply brush away debris. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners on the fabric, as these may irritate your cat; a damp cloth is sufficient for light cleaning of the particle board frame.
