Would this be a good tree for a large cat?

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!

under 40lbs would be good. I really like my armarkat cat tree. I have three cats and they love.... it. I researched which one was the best and armarkat company came in second, first was way to expensive. They are also very affordable. My husband put together in no time and said about the quality was really good... Get it!!!!!!

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.

Hi Shannon , I'm sorry , I have to amend my previous answer. I have the bigger Armarkat cat tree # A7401 it's 50"(L) x26" (W) x74" (H) and weighs 65 pounds. It is the one recommended by Maine Coon Cat Nation. Sorry for the confusion.

The opening for the "house" part is a nice large size and I think for sure a larger cat would fit in it. The posts are wrapped neatly and tightly with a sturdy rope. Great quality

I have 2 cats (11lbs & 14lbs (a "little overweight for his frame." Neither of them stretch out on any level of it, but the y both always fight to see who can curl up in or sit on the top tier. I may even order another one for a second window to replace the cat tree I bought from another company. This one is MUCH sturdier! Good luck!

I would think it's too tall and there'd be little room for the cat to maneuver with it in there. I have it sitting right outside.

I have a 6lb and a 12lb cat who both love this tree. My 12lb kitty fits just fine in the little houses and on the perches. Im sure your kitty will enjoy it!

Probably not, my cat is only 10 pounds and curled up tight he barely fits in the bottom one. He spends most of his time in the top one and still hangs over the edges a bit. This is a good, well constructed cat tree for a smaller cat.

Mine is about 4'7"tall. My cats have enjoyed this tree to pieces. Literally...They have played and scratched on it to the point that the sisal rope wrap around poles had to be fixed. Still Happy!

The top 2 tiers are pretty sturdy. Most of your cat's weight will be over the mounting pole. As long as your cat's not pushing 20 lbs, this cat tree should work out fine.

I have a 12 lb cat that fits in the tube pretty well (though he has to finagle getting in the middle). The first wing ripped off in 2 weeks, but the second held until about 3 months. I think he might actually like it better without them, though, because the posts are easier to get. I would NOT recommend this tree for a cat over 13/14 lbs because I don't think they'd be able to get into/out of the tube.

Yes, the cat tree will fit in a 6 ft..vertical space. My cats really have enjoyed this cat tree.

My 17 lb fatty fits comfortably. This is a sturdy well-made cat tree and even a generously proportioned kitty should be happy. It's held up well for the time I've had it.

As much as I think this tree it attractive the material used on the board is a bit slippery it would help if they put some sort of cushioning under it that the cats could claw into but the surface under is very hard and the material although pretty and soft is too slippery.. I would look for one with tradition carpet material on the platform. Hope this helps. Good luck!

It's sturdy and doesn't tip. I have a Main Coon mix and two other rather large cats that drape themselves over the top though the second tier with the little bit of backing is the favored spot. If they stretch out, they DO kind of drip over the edges. They seem to like it! I have 9 cats, of all sizes, and this is the favorite tree.

My cat is about 14 pounds. The upper perches rock when he stands or moves on them, but there's no indication that the structure is unstable. The bottom part of the tree is very stable. I think the bigger issue is that my cat (who's not as heavy, but is very long and tall) barely fits on the perches, can only sit on top of the first cat condo because I've moved the stairs, and never ventures into the condos because they're simply too small. He uses the tree all the time, but it's slightly difficult for him to use it for napping.

I do think it will hold up. My cat is a little on the "fluffy" side and kind of rough on his cat tree and it's survived his abuse. He uses the scratching posts frequently and hasn't destroyed them yet.

Yes, it is (assuming a large domestic cat, that is). Unlike most similar products this cat tree is not top-heavy; it was intelligently designed to support active cat use without toppling over.
