Full details
The Trixie Maciel Cat Tree is an ideal solution for owners of large and heavy cats who need a durable, space-efficient activity center that supports both high-energy play and restorative rest. Its robust design features thick sisal posts to promote healthy scratching habits and plush surfaces for comfort, though its 155 cm height requires adequate vertical clearance in your home. This minimalist unit balances structural stability with a modern aesthetic, providing a dedicated space for your cat to climb, lounge in its cozy cave, or nap in the quilted hammock.

FAQs
Is this tree suitable for large cats?
Yes, it is specifically designed with a robust frame and sturdy base to support the size and weight of large and heavy cat breeds.
What are the overall dimensions?
The base measures 78 x 58 cm and the total height is 155 cm.
Can I wash the cushions?
The cave cushion is reversible and removable for easy maintenance; it is recommended to hand-wash using mild detergent.
How do I maintain the sisal posts?
The sisal posts are durable, but you can keep them clean by gently brushing away loose debris. Avoid soaking them in water.

Troubleshooting
The cat tree feels wobbly or unstable.

The cat refuses to use the cat tree.
Try placing treats or catnip on the platforms to encourage exploration. Placing the tree near a window can also make it more appealing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Assembly requires a standard screwdriver and should take approximately 30-45 minutes. Ensure all bolts are tightened securely during the initial setup to guarantee the stability of the structure. For optimal compatibility, place the unit on a flat, even floor surface away from high-traffic doorways. Care for the unit is straightforward: vacuum the plush surfaces regularly to manage fur accumulation. The reversible cushion inside the cave can be removed and hand-washed with mild detergent if necessary. Periodically check the sisal posts for wear; while the sisal is designed for heavy use, excessive fraying is a sign that the post has served its purpose and may eventually need attention.
