1)
The post has 4 threaded nuts inside
the wooden part at the bottom. There
are two holes which are outlined in
colors: one in red, and one in red and
black. The holes may be numbered, as well.
You will use these holes to connect your
post. The other 2 holes should be used if,
at a later time, you feel that the post
needs some added security. These 2 colored
holes will be more than enough to make a
secure connection.
2) Push back any loose carpet fibers
from center of top of base (to make a
clean fit with post). Place top of
scratching post on floor so that bottom of
pole faces up (you may need someone to
help steady the post).
3) Note that the base has holes
with matching colors to the holes on the
post. Position base on post so these holes
touch each other. Label on base should be
facing you now (OK, OK, you knew
that!).
4) GENTLY insert bolts through base
and into holes in post (after first adding
washers to them, if included). If a
bolt does not easily thread into the nut,
turn it counter-clockwise one full turn
and try it again. You may have to do
this 2 or 3 times before the bolt threads
into the nut. Turn the bolt as far as
possible with your fingers. Use the hex
wrench when necessary.
5) Tighten bolts as much as
possible with fingers, alternating between
the 2 until they are as far in as
possible. Then use the hex wrench to fully
tighten them. BE CAREFUL NOT TO BREAK THE
WOOD BY OVERTIGHTENING. Your post should
be ready to use. Go get your cat, now
& stand back.
6) If there are assembly
questions or problems, please contact us

button on the entrance page to our
