Safety Warnings
- Keep all small parts and packaging materials away from children and pets during assembly.
- Ensure all screws and bolts are securely tightened before allowing pets to use the cat tree.
- Place the cat tree on a flat, stable surface to prevent tipping.
- For added stability, especially with active or multiple cats, use the included anti-tipping strap to secure the cat tree to a wall.
- Regularly inspect the cat tree for loose parts, damage, or wear and tear. Replace or repair as needed.
- Do not exceed the maximum weight capacities for each platform and condo.
Setup and Assembly
While specific step-by-step instructions are typically provided in a separate assembly guide, here are general guidelines for setting up your cat tree:
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging. Check against the parts list (usually included with the product) to ensure all components are present and undamaged.
- Identify Base: Start by identifying the base plate, which provides the foundation for the entire structure.
- Attach Posts: Begin attaching the sisal-covered scratching posts to the base using the provided screws and tools. Ensure they are tightened securely.
- Assemble Levels: Progressively attach platforms, condos, and other levels, following the numerical or diagrammatic sequence in your assembly guide. Pay attention to the orientation of each piece.
- Install Accessories: Attach the basket, top perch, and any hanging toys (like the elastic ball) to their designated spots.
- Final Tightening: Once fully assembled, double-check all screws and connections to ensure they are tight and stable.
- Secure to Wall (Recommended): For enhanced stability and safety, especially for taller cat trees or in households with multiple active cats, use the anti-tipping strap to anchor the tree to a wall.

Operating and Features
The Yaheetech Cat Tree Cactus 135 cm offers a variety of features designed to cater to your cat's natural instincts and provide comfort:

- Comfy Condo: The enclosed condo offers a private, secure hiding spot for napping or feeling safe. It features an entrance for easy access.
- Soft Basket: A soft, hammock-like basket provides another comfortable lounging option.
- Sisal Scratching Posts: The durable natural sisal rope wrapped around the posts satisfies your cat's urge to scratch, helping to protect your furniture.
- Elastic Ball Toy: An attached elastic ball provides interactive play and entertainment.
- Cactus Design: The unique cactus shape adds a playful and aesthetic touch to your home decor.
Maintenance and Care
To ensure the longevity and hygiene of your cat tree, regular maintenance is recommended:
- Spot Cleaning: For minor spills or dirt, use a damp cloth with mild soap to spot clean the moppy fabric surfaces. Avoid excessive moisture.
- Vacuuming: Regularly vacuum the entire cat tree to remove loose fur, dust, and debris.
- Sisal Post Care: The sisal posts are designed for scratching. If they become frayed, you can trim loose threads. Do not wash sisal posts.
- Structural Check: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary.
- Odor Control: If odors develop, sprinkle baking soda on the fabric surfaces, let it sit for a few hours, then vacuum thoroughly.
- Damage Inspection: Inspect for any signs of damage, such as broken platforms, loose posts, or torn fabric. Address these issues promptly to prevent injury to your pet.
Troubleshooting

| Cat tree feels wobbly or unstable. | Loose connections; uneven floor; not anchored to wall. | Check and tighten all screws. Ensure the tree is on a flat surface. Use the anti-tipping strap to secure it to a wall. |
| Cat is not using the scratching posts. | Prefers other scratching surfaces; unfamiliar with sisal. | Encourage use by placing treats or catnip on the posts. Gently guide your cat's paws to the sisal. |
