What is the weight limit on the upper hanging basket for the 78 x 42 x 26 version? I have a 22lb. very active cat.

Not sure of the actual weight limit, but my 12 lb. female has never even come close to tipping the structure, nor breaking the upper basket. Hope this helps a bit.

Here's the one I have--Armarkat Cat tree Furniture Condo, Height -50-Inch to 60-Inch B5701

By the way, my unit is not this exact model. It has 2 tiered towers, with a rectangular shaped sleeper in the center with a key hole shaped opening. Also has a rope and two toy balls. She is not on it 24/7 and as far as being concerned about toxicity, what isn't made from some form of compound that could be potentially harmful? Nearly everything does. I wouldn't worry about it. You don't need to buy a $400 organic cat tree.

I don't know because mine does not have that feature. My cat is 20 lbs. and races all over it and it occasionally shakes but it is very sturdy and has never tipped in any way. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Read my review, this is made of very cheap MDF that is full of toxins, if you love your cats, spend a little extra and find a non toxic cat tree. But I definitely would not place a 22lb anything on this, it would probably fall right over.

I can't help you, my cat tree is two feet shorter and my cat weighs half what yours does. I wouldn't worry about "toxic" MDF however.

I've found that the only cats who will use the basket are ones who started using it as kittens. If they start using it as kittens they will continue to use it as adults, regardless of their size.

My one cat is 16 pounds (he was a little more... he had to go on a diet!) and it holds him fine. My two chase each other up it, and it holds fine. You have to tighten the top every once in awhile, but I have never had any issues. They love it!

Make sure you get the right one. Do the one that is 10-20lbs. My cat is only around 7lbs and that's the one we got her for to walk around in. it's huge for her. though it's perfect enough for her to stand up in and walk around

Although this is a nice size for a medium size cat, I think it might be a tight fit for your 22 pound cat.

It's a full size cat box - our cat is 22 pounds and has more than enough room.

Twenty pounds is a large cat, yet, I say this will work. I like the product. I don't think it would be comfortable for hour after hour, however. Good carrier though. Good luck. CC

Lois, I am not sure, I think the directions stated 22 pounds as the limit. I think I have one large basket that probably weighs that much and so far it is still ok. Love these things. Donna

My cat is pretty big and this is very sturdy. I measured around the pole and it's 19-20 inches around.

Yes! We have a 19lb cat and he jumps all over it. It's a tad wobbly up high, but holds him just fine! The only one that is too small for him is the little basket on the left that hangs off by itself. It's only about a 10 inch diameter.

My cat is about 15 lbs. and she gets up on the top pedestal everyday without problem. It wobbles just a little but very sturdy. I often do a check to tighten the screws. My cat and guest cats love it.

I need to know the dimensions of the basket, I want to put two cat carriers with cats inside in (one on top of the other) to transport from my apartment to my car in parking lot. Carriers are 15" x 23 cats weight is 15 lbs each give or take! Any input or advise would be helpful, I usually use a shopping cart, but have to find alternative.

I gave this as a gift, so I am unable to measure the top ovoid. However, I had it put together at my office and was very impressed by the quality. Further, I have a 14 year old cat that is approximately 20 lbs. and believe he would fit on the top. The person I gave the tower to has 2 cats and they love the tower. I gave him a tower last year that was poorly made and ready for the trash. I recommend the purchase of this product and think your cat will enjoy it. Lisa Moran, Tyler, TX

My cat weighs 20 pounds, is about 22 inches around and it fits him great. It is stretchy and closes with velcro so it's pretty adjustable.

In my opinion this would NOT be substantial enough for an animal that weight. Even 75# might be pushing it. It is more the stability of it and step size that I would worry about. My cat is about 15# and I had 19# cat that I would not have used this size for.

You might have to put some weight on the bottom of it if your cat is large because it's a little wobbly. All of the legs are the same size it's just the bottom support is too small. I have mine up against the wall for added support but it still rocks if my cat climbs up the side of it & not up the supports. I'm not sure if a 13 lb cat will fit on top. Mine is about 8 lbs & she takes up most of the space.

I have had no problem with the 2 I have. One of my cats is 30 pounds, & because of his size, I have put a round cushion in the top rest so he doesn't hang over the hard edges of the circle. I am very happy with these units & I can't imagine having anything more sturdy.
