How much weight will this hold? I have two cats that weigh almost 20 lbs each so I looking for for something really sturdy.

I pushes very hary to the ceiling. I have to 20lb'rs too, and they play on multiple levels to my delight, already a year old and they're not board, just a fight who gets the top tier.

Not much at all. It doesn't hold my ONE (small) cat's weight and continues to fall over anytime she tries to jump onto it. She now has no interest in it because it's not a very secure tower. You would have to secure it with brackets to the wall and ceiling in order for it to be stable.

I have a 15lbs cat and an 18lbs cat, and both seem to do just fine. The lighter one goes all the way up while the heavier one stays in the middle. This thing is perfect for us because it provides high ground and a scratching post without taking up much room. One thing to be aware of is that my cats really love scratching it, and the soft material only holds up for about 6 months. Next time I order this I am going to wrap the lowest portion in rope. I hope that helps.

Would not recommend. It wouldn't hold my kittens that were about 3lbs each. It fell apart first day. Extremely flimsy.

The one i bought isn't what's shown in the pic. I bought the one with the house on the second level and two perchs. However I have 2 six month old kittens weighing in a 9# each. So far things are working out...but idk about in another six months. BUT it's pretty sturdy. I'm glad I bought it. Hopes this helps!

There is no information on Petmate's website regarding this. It just states that it can hold up to 20 lbs. Looking at my 9.5 lb kitty, I don't see how I could fit two of her inside....maybe if both cats were a long, thin 10 lbs. It would also depend upon how long you wanted to carry the two together. A very short trip might work fine but the kitties would get very cramped on a long trip. I'd recommend viewing the measurements and measuring the length, width and height of your kitties to find your answer.

I think it would hold them both but wouldn't expect them to be comfortable if they are about 10 pounds apiece. I used it to transport 2 kittens but they were each around 5 or 6 pounds at the time and were able to curl up nicely with each other. I would suspect that if you have very mellow cats it would work for you, but if they're large, it wouldn't offer them a lot of room.

Yes, have a cat that weighs 13 lbs and it holds her and my other cat (10lbs) together just fine.

I don't know what a coon cat is. My 10 lb dog LOVES it. I would think it could hold a 20 lb animal as well.

I have 4 cats but they don't weigh as much as yours. Each of them is 10-12 pounds. They have fun rough-housing on the tree, there is definately room for all and it is very sturdy. If you built it right it will last.

I'm not sure but my cat is 12 lbs and it opens on that due to flaw in construction. I'm sure it can't hold that much more weight.

My cat is 18 pounds and she fits fine in this. I would believe it would be perfect for a 20 pound dog. I would get it, try it, and if it's not good for your pup, then just return it. It has been a life savor for me, cuz she's too heavy for me to carry in a regular carrier. I love this carrier. Highly recommend.

My cats are both about 16 pounds and it works fine for them. It will rock a bit when they jump from the floor all the way to the top pedestal but so far it has not tipped over.

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.

I have 4 cats all between 10-16 lbs. It is not sturdy at all. I have a 40lb sand bag laying on the base to hold if in place. I would recommend spending a little more on a larger unit with a wider base.

I am not srue if there is a weight limit but i have 2 cats one is under 10lbs and one is over and they both use this and love it. And it has held them without breaking. Although the older one who is the heavier one has not been on the two top tiers. He has only been in the house part and on the hammock.

Oh yes, I have 12 cats and a few weigh more than that. The older ones mostly lay in it, but the younger ones will be running and jump onto it. So far, it has been very sturdy. They love it. I got one for my daughter, too. She has 3 cats and they are on it constantly!

This may be suitable for two cats under 10 lbs if they are doing short trips, AND get along extremely well. You are better with two slightly smaller carriers (23 inches is pretty big, and should handle a cat up to 20 lbs, though not for really long trips.

We have 2 cats one is 23lbs and the other is 18lbs, they both fit in it (seperately). In fact I only have one and have to order another one.

my cat is 10lbs, and there are no issues, but i wouldn't want to go too much heavier. the construction is real good and wouldn't tear, but the bottom would flex around the dog, so it would be like carrying him/her in a duffel bag. the furry insert is just for softness and is no more rigid than a piece of cardboard.
