Operating Instructions / Usage
The Yaheetech 46-inch Cat Tree is designed to provide a stimulating and comfortable environment for your cats. Its multi-level design encourages climbing, scratching, and resting.
- Spacious Condo: The enlarged condo offers a private, enclosed space for your cat to rest and feel secure. It features two openings for easy access.
- Wider Top Perch: The generously sized top perch (20x12.6 inches) provides an elevated spot for your cat to observe its surroundings or nap comfortably, complete with a soft cushion and raised edges.
- Comfy Basket: A soft, hammock-like basket offers another cozy spot for lounging.
- Scratching Posts: Multiple posts wrapped with sisal rope allow cats to satisfy their natural scratching instincts, helping to protect your furniture.
- Bottom Platform: This lower platform serves as an additional resting area and a stepping stone for cats to access higher levels.
- Dangling Toy: The included dangling toy provides an interactive element for play and entertainment. It is replaceable and removable.
Maintenance
Proper maintenance will extend the life of your cat tree and ensure a hygienic environment for your pets.
- Cleaning: The plush surfaces can be spot cleaned with a damp cloth and mild detergent. For deeper cleaning, hand wash only. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
- Vacuuming: Regularly vacuum the plush surfaces to remove loose fur and dust.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect all connections and hardware. Tighten any loose screws or bolts to maintain stability.
- Scratching Post Care: While sisal rope is durable, it will wear over time. Monitor the condition of the scratching posts and consider replacing the cat tree if the posts become excessively frayed and no longer effective.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Yaheetech Cat Tree, refer to the following common solutions:
- Wobbling/Instability: Ensure all screws and bolts are fully tightened. Verify that the cat tree is placed on a flat, level surface. If wobbling persists, ensure the anti-toppling kit is correctly installed and secured to a wall stud or appropriate anchor.
- Parts Not Fitting: Double-check the assembly diagram to ensure you are using the correct parts for each step. Sometimes similar-looking parts have slight differences. Do not force parts together.
- Cat Not Using Tree: Introduce your cat to the tree gradually. Place treats or familiar toys on different levels. Catnip can also be used to encourage exploration.
