Assembly Instructions for the Deluxe Cat Tree

Take the 22" sisal post and remove the 4" bolt and washer from the bottom. Take the base and insert the 4" bolt with washer up through the bottom of the base into the 22" post. Thread until tight.
Take the 13" x 13" platform and slide it over the long bolt of the 22" sisal post. Take the 18" post and slide it over the same bolt and thread until tight.
Place the 13" x 13" platform over exposed bolt and thread 15" sisal post onto bolt. Turn until tight.
Thread Crow's Nest onto short exposed bolt and tighten.
Remove 4" bolt and washer from bottom of plunger unit, insert it through top of Crow's Nest into bottom of plunger unit and tighten.
Insert plunger into hole on top of plunger unit. Your cat tree is now ready to be positioned to the ceiling. The plunger unit in the top post retracts approximately six inches on the spring assembly when pressure is applied. Place the tip of the plunger against the ceiling where you plan to locate the tree and apply pressure to the plunger to retract the spring. Set the base directly under where the plunger meets the ceiling. Check to make sure your tree is vertically straight and stable in this position. Attach breakaway mouse according to directions included with mouse.
Check all pieces for tightness and re-tighten after a few days of use. Optional extension is available for taller ceilings (Item #10027).

Cleaning Your Cat Tree
Vacuum hair off the perches and from the hideouts when necessary. Vacuum or brush the sisal. Do not use water or cleaners on the sisal. When the carpeted areas become soiled, we recommend a pet-formulated stain and odor remover such as OdorLogic™ CleanAway. Simply spray the entire spot, and allow CleanAway's enzyme action to begin breaking up the stain immediately while bacteria-producing agents work to digest the stain until it is completely gone.

On a regular basis, re-tighten all connections to make sure the tree remains sturdy and safe.

Q.	How safe are the cat trees if placed in center of a room instead of a corner?
A.	The cat trees can be placed anywhere in your home that you want. The safety is not compromised as long as the cat tree is properly installed and checked at regular intervals for tightness.

Q.	How easy are these cat trees to assemble? What tools are required?
A.	The Drs. Foster & Smith Cat Trees are very easy to assemble and come with complete instructions. The only tool you need is a 7/16" wrench.

Q.

What if my ceiling is vaulted or too high? What can I do?

A.

The Drs. Foster & Smith Cat Trees fit an 8-foot ceiling. An optional Cat Tree Extension will extend your cat tree another 12 inches. We do not recommend using more than one cat tree extension since it may make your cat tree less stable. Also, the cat tree extension is not for use on the Super Deluxe Tree. If you have a vaulted ceiling or a ceiling that is taller than 9 feet, we carry a wide variety of treehouses, penthouses, and other cat furniture that are totally free-standing for your cat to enjoy.

Q.	Can the cat trees be used outside?
A.	We do not recommend that you use the Drs. Foster & Smith Cat Trees outdoors. Over time, they will not hold up to prolonged exposure to the elements (especially rain). However, if you have a covered enclosure which will accommodate the cat tree so it is stable and moisture-free, you may place a cat tree there.

Q.

How sturdy are these trees if more than one cat uses it at the same time?

A.

The Drs. Foster & Smith Cat Trees are among the sturdiest cat trees on the market, and can hold up to even the most rambunctious of cat(s). They will remain steady with more than one cat on them, as long as the combined weight of the cats is evenly distributed and under the weight limit for the model that you own. You will also want to make sure that the cat tree is tightly secured between the floor and ceiling.

Q.	If my cat tree is wobbly, what can I do?
A.	If your cat tree is wobbly, we recommend that you recheck the tightness of the screws. Make sure that they are as tight as possible. Also check that your cat tree is secure between floor and ceiling, and make periodic adjustments as needed.

Q.	Will the manufacturer make special orders?
A.	Other than color of carpet on some items, the manufacturer does not make special order cat trees.

Q.	Can I get replacement sisal or other parts for these trees?
A.	Yes, Drs. Foster & Smith have replacement sisal and other parts for your cat tree up to 6 months from date of purchase.

Testimonial By:		Testimonial:
Julia Candis York, PA		I have ten cats ranging in age from 5 months to 10 years old and they all love it! Someone is always sleeping on it. It has held up very well to the constant scratching. When they jump to and from the treee, it holds still. The carpet still looks brand new even after three months. I highly recommend the Deluxe Cat Trees!

Amanda Reid Tuscaloosa, AL		I ordered a Deluxe Cat Tree several months ago when my extremely active indoor kitten began to climb the walls--literally! He loves his tree--it was the perfect solution for all of his needs. He loves to check out the view from the windows as he lounges snugly in the crow's nest. He also loves to scratch the sisal posts. Thanks to this fabulous invention, I no longer feel guilty about having such an active cat in a small apartment. Now he gets plenty of exercise, and he no longer claws at the walls and drapes with frustration. I'm so glad that I purchased my tree from Drs. Foster & Smith.
