Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right cat tree for my cat?

When choosing the right cat tree for your cat, it’s important to consider their personality and needs. Active cats usually enjoy taller cat trees with multiple climbing perches, while shy or older cats prefer shorter trees that offer cozy hideouts. Make sure the tree has sisal-wrapped posts for scratching instead of carpet, which helps protect your furniture. Look for a sturdy design with a wide base made from solid wood or plywood—avoid flimsy particleboard to ensure safety and durability.
It’s also best to place the cat tree near a window for entertainment, but away from noisy areas, to keep your cat comfortable. We offer a variety of cat trees to suit different cats, so you can find the perfect one for your furry friend.

Can I place the cat tower anywhere in my home, or does it need a specific spot?

You can place a cat tower in most areas of your home, but ideal spots balance your cat’s instincts and safety:
1. Near a Window: Cats love birdwatching and sunlight—just ensure the perch isn’t in direct summer heat.
2. Quiet Corners: Shy cats prefer low-traffic areas (e.g., beside a bookshelf), while social cats may enjoy living rooms.
3. Away from Hazards: Avoid noisy appliances (washing machines), fragile items, or tight spaces where the tower could tip.
4. Stable Flooring: Place on a flat, non-slippery surface (not uneven rugs).
Pro Tip: Observe your cat’s favorite lounging spots first—they’ll use the tower more if it’s in their territory!

Are cat enclosures safe for kittens or elderly cats to use?

Cat enclosures can be safe for both kittens and elderly cats with proper modifications—ensure the spacing between bars or mesh is narrow enough (under 2.5cm) to prevent escapes, and include ramps instead of ladders for older cats with mobility issues. Kittens benefit from low platforms and soft flooring, while seniors need cushioned resting spots and shade from harsh weather; always use non-toxic, weatherproof materials and secure latches to keep them protected. Supervised introduction helps them adjust, and adding tiered levels accommodates playful kittens and less mobile older cats.

Does the cat tree come with instructions for assembly?

Yes, every cat tree we offer comes with a detailed and easy-to-understand instruction manual to help you assemble it step-by-step. The manual is designed so that even if you don’t have much experience with furniture assembly, you can quickly and easily set up the cat tree without any confusion or frustration. Additionally, if you encounter any problems or have questions during assembly, our customer service team is always available and happy to assist you. We want to make sure your experience is smooth and hassle-free, so your cat can enjoy their new tree as soon as possible, making it a fun and safe space for them.

Does the cat tree come with cat scratching posts, ramps, or platforms?

Our cat trees come equipped with essential features such as cat scratching posts, ramps, and platforms to support your cat’s natural instincts. Scratching posts help cats keep their claws healthy and prevent damage to your furniture, while ramps and platforms provide exercise and resting spots. Different models offer various combinations of these features to suit cats of all ages and activity levels. Whether your cat loves to climb, scratch, or relax, you can choose a tree that meets their needs. We offer a variety of styles, ensuring both functionality and fun for your feline friend every day.

How do I repair a cat tree if it gets damaged or worn out?

If your cat tree is wobbly or frayed, try these quick fixes:
1. Tighten & Stabilize
- Use a screwdriver to secure loose screws. Add wood glue for extra strength.
- For a shaky base, attach a wider board or weigh it down (e.g., sandbag).
2. Repair Scratching Posts
- Rewrap damaged sisal rope: Secure new rope with hot glue or staples.
3. Patch Torn Fabric
- Staple or glue the loose carpet back in place. For big tears, replace with a scrap of similar material.
4. Reinforce Weak Platforms
- Screw in L-brackets or add plywood underneath for support.
Prevent Future Damage
- Rotate the tree to spread wear.
- Trim your cat’s nails regularly.
If it’s beyond repair, consider a sturdier replacement. Most supplies (sisal rope, glue) are available at shops. Easy fixes can extend your cat tree’s life for years!
