Troubleshooting
Cat tree is wobbly or unstable.
Ensure all screws and connectors are tightly secured. Verify the base is on a level surface. For extremely active cats, consider anchoring the top perch to a wall if possible, though the thick posts are designed for stability.
Cat is not interested in using the cat tree.
Sprinkle catnip on the perches or toys. Place familiar blankets or toys on the levels. Gently encourage the cat to explore by playing with them near the tree.
Sisal rope is unraveling.
Trim any loose threads with scissors. If the rope is significantly worn, it may need to be replaced by re-wrapping new sisal rope around the posts.
Plush mats are dirty.
Remove the plush mats and clean them according to their care instructions. For minor stains, spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure mats are completely dry before placing them back on the tree.
