How to Install PawMazeCrafts Wall-Mounted Cat Furniture

Installing cat shelves and wall-mounted cat furniture can significantly enhance your feline's environment, providing them with a safe and stimulating space to explore. This guide outlines the essential steps and considerations for a successful installation.

Before beginning the installation process, it is crucial to gather the necessary tools and materials. Common tools required include a drill, level and a measuring tape. Additionally, ensure that the wall-mounted furniture is compatible with your wall type, whether it be drywall, plaster, or concrete.
