Troubleshooting
Cat is not using the scratch post
Try rubbing some catnip on the post or dangling a favorite toy on it to attract your cat's attention. Ensure it's placed in an area your cat frequents.
Scratch post seems unstable
Double-check that all parts are securely fastened during assembly. Ensure the base is on a flat, level surface. For very active cats, consider placing it against a wall for added support.
Hanging toy has come loose
Re-attach the toy securely according to the assembly instructions. If the attachment point is damaged, contact the manufacturer for a replacement part or consider a simple repair.
Fleece is becoming dirty
Gently spot clean with a damp cloth. For more thorough cleaning, use a pet-safe fabric cleaner sparingly and allow to air dry completely.
