Setup and Assembly
The Nyeekoy Catio Outdoor Cat Enclosure requires assembly. A detailed step-by-step manual is included in the packaging. It is recommended to have at least two people for assembly to ensure stability and ease of construction. Basic tools such as a Phillips head screwdriver and a power drill (on a low setting) are recommended.
Important Assembly Notes:
- Pre-drilling Holes: Some holes may not be fully pre-drilled. Using a power drill with an appropriate drill bit (e.g., 1/8 inch) on a low setting to pre-drill pilot holes can prevent wood splitting and make screw insertion easier.
- Component Identification: Ensure all pieces are correctly identified and oriented according to the included diagrams before fastening.
- Secure Fasteners: Tighten all screws and fasteners securely, but avoid over-tightening to prevent damage to the wood.

- Hammock: A cozy hammock provides an additional resting spot.
- Access Doors: Raised doors facilitate easy entry and exit for your cats and simplify daily routines such as feeding and cleaning. Ensure doors are securely latched when in use.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and safety of your Catio enclosure.
Cleaning:
- Wood Surfaces: Wipe wooden surfaces with a damp cloth and mild, pet-safe cleaner as needed. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the wood or harm your pets.
- Wire Mesh: Clean the galvanized wire mesh with a brush or damp cloth to remove dirt and debris.
- Hammock: The hammock can be removed for cleaning according to its fabric care instructions.
Weather Protection:
- The PVC protected roof offers protection from rain and harsh weather. Periodically inspect the roof for any damage or wear.
- The enclosure is constructed from premium pinewood with environmental-friendly spray paint for weather resistance. Inspect wood for signs of wear or damage and address promptly.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues during assembly or use, refer to the following common solutions:
- Difficulty with Screws/Wood Splitting: If screws are hard to drive or wood shows signs of splitting, use a power drill on a low setting with a small pilot drill bit (e.g., 1/8 inch) to create pilot holes before inserting screws.
- Loose Wire Mesh: If the wire mesh appears loose in certain areas, additional staples can be used to secure it more firmly to the wooden frame.
- Door Latch Issues: If door latches do not feel secure, consider adding a small block of wood or an alternative locking mechanism to enhance security.
- Window Access: The product does not include a pre-cut window access point. Users may need to modify the enclosure (e.g., cut wire mesh) to integrate it with a window unit or cat door, if desired. Ensure any modifications maintain structural integrity and cat safety.
