Operating Instructions

The Yaheetech Multi-Level Cat Scratching Post is designed to provide a comprehensive activity center for your cat, promoting physical activity and mental stimulation.

• Scratching Posts: Encourage your cat to use the sisal-wrapped posts for scratching. This helps maintain claw health and diverts scratching behavior away from household furniture.
• Niches and Hammock: The enclosed niches and soft hammock offer secure, comfortable, and private spaces for your cat to rest, sleep, or observe its surroundings.
• Perches: The elevated platforms and the top perch provide vantage points, satisfying your cat's natural instinct to climb and survey its territory.
• Hanging Toys: The attached balls and sisal rope are for interactive play, encouraging hunting instincts and providing entertainment.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Use a soft brush or a handheld vacuum cleaner to remove loose fur, dust, and debris from the plush surfaces. For soiled areas, spot clean with a damp cloth and a mild, pet-safe cleaning solution. Allow the area to air dry completely. Do not soak the product or machine wash any components.
• Inspection: Periodically check all structural components, including posts, platforms, and connections, for signs of wear, damage, or looseness. Re-tighten any loose screws immediately to ensure the stability and safety of the cat tree. Replace severely damaged sisal posts or other components if they compromise the product's integrity or your cat's safety.
• Placement: To prolong the lifespan of the cat tree, keep it in a dry indoor environment, away from direct sunlight, high humidity, and extreme temperatures.

Troubleshooting

• Instability or Wobbling: Ensure the cat tree is placed on a completely flat and level surface. Re-check and tighten all assembly screws and bolts. If the issue persists, verify that all posts are correctly seated and aligned according to the assembly instructions.
• Cat Not Using Scratching Posts: Try applying a catnip spray to the sisal-wrapped posts to attract your cat. Gently guide your cat's paws to the posts to demonstrate their purpose. Ensure the cat tree is placed in an area your cat frequently visits.
• Damaged Components: If any part of the cat tree becomes damaged beyond repair or poses a safety risk, discontinue use. For replacement parts or further assistance, please contact Yaheetech customer support.
