4. Setup and Assembly

The YITAHOME cat cage features a DIY modular design, allowing for flexible configurations. Assembly typically takes 10-25 minutes for one or two people. Follow these general steps for construction:

1. Plan Your Layout: Before connecting panels, decide on your desired configuration. The modular panels allow for various shapes and sizes.
2. Connect Panels: Use the provided connectors to join the metal wire panels. Ensure each connection is secure. A plastic hammer is included to help tap the panels firmly into the connectors.
3. Install Doors and Skylight: Integrate the door panels and the skylight panel into your chosen design. Use the door locks to secure the doors.
4. Add Platforms and Stairs: Place the platforms at desired levels. The hook-top stairs are designed to securely position on the iron frame, providing easy access between levels.
5. Secure with Cable Ties: Crucially, use the cable ties at every connection point to reinforce the structure and prevent panels from coming apart. This significantly enhances the cage's stability.
6. Attach Hammock: Secure the plush hammock to the top tier or another suitable location within the cage.
7. Install Anti-Tip Device: For maximum safety, especially if the cage is tall or in a high-traffic area, install the anti-tip device by anchoring it to a wall.
8. Place Floor Mats: Lay the detachable black floor mats on the bottom level(s) to create a clean and dry interior environment.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and hygiene of your cat cage.

• Cleaning: The black floor mats are easily detachable for convenient cleaning. Wipe down metal surfaces with a damp cloth and mild, pet-safe cleaner as needed.
• Hammock Care: The plush hammock can be removed for washing. Follow care instructions on the hammock's label if available, or hand wash with mild detergent and air dry.
• Inspect Connections: Periodically check all connectors and cable ties to ensure they remain secure. Re-tighten or replace cable ties if they become loose or damaged.
• General Inspection: Regularly inspect the entire structure for any signs of wear, damage, or sharp edges that could harm your pets.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your YITAHOME cat cage, refer to the following common solutions:

• Cage Feels Flimsy/Unstable: This is often due to insufficient use of cable ties. Ensure every connection point between panels is secured with a cable tie. Use the plastic hammer to firmly tap all panels into the connectors until they are fully seated.
• Panels Coming Apart: Re-check all connectors and cable ties. If a connection is loose, re-seat the panel into the connector and apply a new cable tie if necessary.
• Difficulty Assembling: The instructions are primarily visual. Refer to the parts list and assembly diagrams carefully. Ensure panels are oriented correctly before attempting to connect them. Do not force connections; if a panel doesn't fit, re-evaluate its orientation.
• Stairs Not Stable: Ensure the hook-top stairs are properly seated on the iron frame. They are designed to hang securely.
• Platforms Sagging: Ensure platforms are fully supported by the underlying panels and connectors. If using the DIY layout, ensure adequate support for each platform.

If troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issue, please contact YITAHOME customer support.
