7. Troubleshooting
7.1 Common Issues and Solutions
| Issue | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Cat tree feels wobbly or unstable. | Loose connections; not secured to wall; uneven floor. | Tighten all screws and bolts. Ensure the anti-toppling strap is properly installed and secured to a wall. Place the tree on a flat, level surface. |
| Cats are not using the scratching posts. | Preference for other surfaces; unfamiliarity. | Encourage use by sprinkling catnip on the sisal posts. Gently guide your cat's paws to the posts. Ensure the posts are stable enough for vigorous scratching. |
| Parts are missing or damaged upon arrival. | Manufacturing or shipping error. | Contact Yaheetech customer support immediately with your purchase details and a description of the missing/damaged parts. |
| Cat tree smells unusual. | New product odor from materials. | Allow the cat tree to air out in a well-ventilated area for a few days before introducing it to your cats. |
