Assembly Instructions: 3 Easy Parts

Assembling your product is quick and simple, as easy as 1, 2, 3! With just a few steps, you can have it set up in no time.

Follow the steps below to attach the Cat Pillar (rod), Cat Beam (arm), and Kitty Cove (Purrch) securely, ensuring a sturdy and functional setup for your feline friend.

  • 1 | Cat Pillar (Rod) →

    Assemble the desk mounting clamp system and position it at your kitty's favorite lookout spot, then secure it by turning the knob.

  • 2 | Cat Beam (arm) →

    Slide the Cat Beam down the Cat Pillar (might require a wiggle). Then secure it using the mini allen key provided, making sure it's nice and sturdy for your feline friend.

  • 3 | The DeskPurrch 🧺

    Place the Kitty Cove on the beam and fasten it with the screws and washers. Then pick a memory foam cushion color to complete the perfect DeskPurrch for your cat to relax and purrch over.

1 | Cat Pillar (Rod)

Components Required

  1. Main rod with mounting plate (top)
  2. L-shaped bracket (left)
  3. Screws (two small ones)
  4. Bolt with knob (center)
  5. Support-Washer disc (center right)
  6. Small screw (below the washer)
  7. Two Allen keys (bottom right)

Step 1: Prepare the L-Shaped Bracket with the Bolt

  1. Begin by inserting the bolt with knob (#4) into the single hole of the L-shaped bracket (#2).
  2. Screw the bolt in deeper so that the tip of the bolt passes the position of the bracket's top hole.

Step 2: Attach the Washer-Support Disc

  1. Place the Washer-Support Disc (#5) over the bolt (#4).
  2. Secure them with the small screw (#6), tightening it with the screwhead Allen key provided.

Step 3: Attach the L-Shaped Bracket to the Main Rod

  1. Align the L-shaped bracket (#2) with the long rod (#1), avoiding the first hole.
  2. Choose the second, third, or fourth hole depending on the thickness of your desk.

Note: For most desks, the second and third holes will provide a good fit. Use the third and fourth holes together for thicker desks.

Step 4: Tighten the Screws

  1. Secure the L-shaped bracket to the long rod using the two small screws (#3).
  2. Ensure that the L-shaped bracket's surface is flush against the flat surface of the long rod.
  3. Tighten the screws using the thicker blunt Allen key to ensure a snug fit.

Important Notes

  • Ensure the product is securely fastened before use.
  • Regularly check screws and bolts for stability.

2 | Cat Beam (Arm)

Components Required

1x Cat Beam (Arm)
1x Cat Pillar (Rod)
1x Mini Allen Key

Step 1: Loosen the screws on the Cat Beam using the mini allen key

To begin, use the mini allen key to loosen the two screws located on the thicker portion of the Cat Beam's arm. This will allow you to adjust its position on the Cat Pillar.

Step 2: Slide the Cat Beam down the Cat Pillar, ensuring the Mounting Bracket faces up

Once the screws are loosened, gently slide the Cat Beam down the Cat Pillar (which should already be attached to your table).

  • Ensure that the Mounting Bracket is facing upwards. You may need to wiggle it slightly, as the rotating mechanism is fresh from production and might be a bit stiff.

Step 3: Adjust the Cat Beam to the desired height and tighten the screws securely.

Once you've positioned the Cat Beam at the height you prefer, tighten both screws again using the mini allen key. This will lock the beam securely in place.

  • Make sure the screws are tight enough to prevent the Cat Beam from slipping under the weight of your cat. However, avoid tightening them too much, as this could make future adjustments difficult.

Important Notes

  • Ensure the product is securely fastened before use.
  • Regularly check screws and bolts for stability.

3 | The DeskPurrch

Components Required

4x Screws
4x Washers
1x Mini Wrench
1x DeskPurrch
1x Cat Beam (Mounting Bracket)

Step 1: Align the Hole Markings

Place the DeskPurrch on top of the Cat Beam's mounting bracket. Make sure to align the two sets of holes—the underside is the bracket, and the upperside is the DeskPurrch.

Step 2: Pass the Screw Through & Fasten with the Washer

Using one hand, push the screw up through both the mounting bracket and the DeskPurrch. Secure with a washer using the other hand.

Step 3: Repeat for Other Holes & Tighten with Mini Wrench

Repeat this process for the remaining screws, then tighten all of them with the mini wrench.

Step 4: Add your Cushion and Kitty

Now, let's add the cushion. These 4 cm thick (1.5 inches) memory foam cushions provide extra comfort for your feline friend. At Cat & Desk Co., we offer a variety of cushion colours to match each kitty's unique personality

Important Notes

  • Ensure the product is securely fastened before use.
  • Regularly check screws and bolts for stability.

Care Instructions: Easy Care for Long-Lasting Comfort

Keep your DeskPurrch in top condition with our simple care tips. From washing the cushion to maintaining the metal and wood components, we’ve made it easy to ensure your cat’s favorite spot stays clean and comfortable for years to come.

  • Cushion Cleaning

    The cushion cover is removable and machine washable. To clean:

    1. Unzip the cushion cover and remove the memory foam insert.
    2. Machine wash the cover in cold water on a gentle cycle.
    3. Air dry or tumble dry on low heat. Avoid using bleach or harsh detergents.
    4. Once dry, insert the memory foam back into the cover and zip it up.

  • Dusting & General Cleaning

    1. Wipe down the wooden bowl and metal components with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and cat fur.
    2. For a deeper clean, use a damp cloth with mild, pet-safe soap. Avoid soaking the wood or metal as it may damage the finish over time.
    3. Dry thoroughly with a soft towel after cleaning to prevent moisture buildup.

  • Metal Arm & Clamp Maintenance

    Periodically check the screws and the clamp to ensure they remain securely fastened. Over time, normal use may loosen the components, so tighten as needed using the provided tool or a standard screwdriver.

  • Rotating Bowl

    The rotating and pivoting mechanism should stay smooth with regular use. If it feels stiff or hard to rotate, wipe the connection points with a damp cloth and apply a small amount of pet-safe lubricant.

  • Scratching Mat

    The included self-adhesive scratching mat can be repositioned or replaced as needed. Simply peel it off the perch’s surface, wipe down the area, and apply a fresh mat. To clean the mat itself, lightly vacuum or brush off any accumulated fur or debris.

  • Storage & Handling

    • Keep the DeskPurrch away from direct sunlight and moisture to ensure the foam and fabric last longer.
    • Encourage gentle use from your cat to avoid unnecessary wear and tear.
    • If you need to disassemble the DeskPurrch for storage or transport, unscrew the clamp gently and store the parts in a dry, cool area. Avoid placing heavy objects on the wood or metal pieces to prevent warping or damage.
