1. Step 1: Assemble the Base
   Attach the shortest plush-covered posts to the baseboard using the appropriate screws. Ensure they are tightened firmly.
2. Step 2: Install Lower Platforms and Hammock
   Connect the next set of posts and platforms to the base assembly. Secure the hammock between two posts as indicated in the diagram.
3. Step 3: Construct the Lower Condo
   Assemble the smaller condo unit by screwing its sides and top together. Attach this condo to the main structure.
4. Step 4: Add the Ladder/Ramp
   Secure the ladder/ramp to the base or a lower platform, providing easy access to higher levels for your cat.
5. Step 5: Build the Upper Condo and Platforms
   Assemble the larger condo unit and attach it along with the remaining platforms and posts to form the upper levels of the tree.
6. Step 6: Attach the Top Perch
   Secure the well-padded top perch to the highest post. This provides a comfortable lookout spot for your cat.
7. Step 7: Add Dangling Toys
   Attach the dangling toy balls to the designated hooks on the platforms or posts. These are replaceable and can be swapped with your cat's favorite toys.

5. Operating Instructions

The Yaheetech Cat Tree is designed for intuitive use by your cats. Encourage your cats to explore and utilize its various features:

• Scratching Posts: The sisal-wrapped posts are ideal for satisfying your cat's natural urge to scratch, helping to maintain claw health and divert attention from furniture.
• Condos: The two cozy condos provide enclosed, private spaces for napping, hiding, or feeling secure.
• Platforms and Perches: Multiple levels and the top perch offer elevated vantage points for observation, lounging, and climbing.
• Hammock: The soft hammock provides a comfortable, suspended spot for relaxation.
• Dangling Toys: The attached toy balls encourage playful batting and pouncing, providing mental and physical stimulation.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance will extend the life of your cat tree and keep it hygienic for your pets.

• Cleaning: Use a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment to remove loose fur and debris from all plush surfaces. For spot cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water, then air dry thoroughly.
• Sisal Posts: Over time, sisal rope may fray. This is normal wear and tear from scratching. You can trim loose threads or consider replacing heavily damaged posts if available from the manufacturer.
• Structural Check: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten any loose components to maintain stability.

7. Troubleshooting

• Cat Tree is Wobbly:
      - Ensure all screws are fully tightened. Refer to the assembly instructions to double-check each connection.
      - Verify the cat tree is placed on a level surface. Adjust if necessary.
      - Use the provided wall anchor strap to secure the tree to a wall stud for added stability.
• Missing Parts:
      - Carefully check all packaging materials. Sometimes small parts can be overlooked.
      - If parts are genuinely missing, contact Yaheetech customer service for assistance.
• Cats Not Using the Tree:
      - Place the tree in a prominent location where your cat enjoys spending time, such as near a window.
      - Entice your cat with treats, catnip, or their favorite toys on different levels of the tree.
      - Spend time playing with your cat around the tree to encourage interaction.
