My cat is about 12 pounds, and I was wondering if he would be able to use everything in this tree? Want to purchase a good one for him! He's big!

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!

Honestly no. My cats are 8 pounders, and the pedastal is a little wobbly. Also 12 gug is going to be a little taller and longer, SK the scratch post rope is going to be narrow, it is for my cats. The other one j looked at and wish I would have bought was armakat b5701 57 inch cat tree. Notice that the rope on the posts runs full length. And on the pic it looks like a big cat can stretch out fully on the right and use either of the levels of scratch posts....

I took some measurements and took pictures of the measurements that I'd be happy to send you. I would say that this is too small for you cat. The very top portion the small penthouse on top is only 12 inch by 12 inch, the small hole underneath is only 8 inches long. The top larger square is 21 inch wide, the pouch thing that hangs off to the side is only 12 inch circle, the small little home is only 9 inches deep. Hope this helped

My cats are eleven and thirteen pounds and have really enjoyed this tree. It's solid.

I have two cats, one under the weight of 10 pounds, the other around 13. the cylinder is small so only a kitten would fit in it, and the middle section cubby hole is small but my smaller cat fits in it ok. very sturdy, and good quality but I should have looked a little more before purchasing

Neither of my 8 pound cats can fit in the tubes or the hammoc. They still both love the tower, but maybe look for one with bigger hideouts.

I have two male cats that are a little bit bigger than that and they really enjoy this "Cat Tree." It's one of the best investments I've ever made for them! I don't know who has the most fun with it, me watching them or their playing on it! I've read some of the other remarks and yes it is wobbly but not enough to fall over.

My cat only uses the top bed, I took out the tube, and he likes to use the platform. Both my average size cats do not play or fit in the hamack, the house, or the bowl. FYI they are made out of fuzzy material not carpet. The base is really thin. I have mine up against the wall for stability. When he jumps up on the top it wobbles and scares me. I also bought a carpet one from petsmart, with two round beds, and two curved beds, scratch posts. They seem to like that one better. I use the one in the picture to put there food on so the dogs won't eat it. Would I purchase the again? Only if I had a kitten, not a grown cat.

I would not recommend this tower for a large cat. My cat is 8lbs. And it was almost too small. Hope this helps

I have two 10 lb cats. They got on it a couple times to sniff around, but they don't really like it. It didn't wobble too much, but I think if they really got to playing they might knock it over. I say get a wider width and not so tall it might be better. Looking into making my own from real tree logs. Good luck.

I can't quite honestly say, my fatter cat is about 14lbs and it holds him up no problem. Apply the laws of physics though, the higher the structure the wider your base needs to be or else it will tip over.

One of my cats is 7 lbs and she goes all over including the hole/house. I also have a cat around 17 lbs and he loves it too. He gets around all over expect inside the hole/house. I got this tree specifically for my bigger cat because it has wider spaces for him to sit and play.

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 have two cats, one is 12 lbs and the other is 9 lbs. The cats can get in the condos but they don't have much room to move around though. I just threw out this cat tree (Go Pet Club) and purchased an Armakat cat tree instead because the condos are bigger and the overall quality of the cat tree is much better in my opinion.

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!

Yes, the cat tree is sturdy. We have two young Siamese rescues, one is 14 lbs, the other is 11 lbs. The big cat fits in the top. Sometimes, they sleep together in the top. Top layer is tight for two cats but they don't seem to mind. I bought a duplicate of this tree for another room because I thought it was much sturdier than what I had seen at retail and the price was reasonable.

Fine, our one cat is very large, he is a barn cat and weighes about 15#, he could not stand up since is is pretty tall, it did not matter, he was comfortable looking out the sides, he could still more around pretty easy. I would get the large to be on the safe side, I did.

I ended up putting the beds on the 2nd tier and the balls on the top. If you have bigger cats it isnt the sturdiest. I have 2 Maine Coons eho loved it but it just couldn't hold their weight. Also my cat scratched the fabric right off of it. All together this cat tree probably only lasted about 8 months. Too bad cause my cats loved it.

I think it depends more upon the size of his paws than his weight. Some cats have huge paws even if they weigh less; especially when they're still growing. My cat weighs 14 lbs but has small delicate paws.I used medium ones on him and it was a perfect fit.

The box in the middle of the picture is not that big and the opening is pretty small. The opening from the steps to the box is also small. My 10 pd cat fits but doesn't stay in there. He likes the 2nd tier from the top. I think the limit to the cat tree would be 10 pounds for a cat. JMO.

Kristy, Kittens would do better on this tree. Straight up, I will be returning the tree. That is one problem for my 4-- 5yr oldsThe Noxious odor is still with it also. The 72 in with a ramp, might be better for your cat. hope this helped

This is very nice tree house for smaller cats.Our cat is 7 pounds kitten and he shakes the tree when he goes up and down.I would probably buy a bigger base unit for more stability if I have a bigger cat. Yes,bases are the same size.

Hi ShannonOne of my cats is 14 lbs and the Siamese is about 8 lbs. They go up and down the tree and there is no issue. You have to find a place in your home where the tree will be secure. I have mine in a corner of my living room, where they can see the birds drinking water out of the fountain on the porch. I have had no issues.

Hi! So sorry to take forever! So, I don't know what the official weight limit it, but the tree is super super sturdy. My two cats are rather small, granted, but they sometimes go nuts pouncing on eachother while in the cat bed, hoping on and off, etc. I can easily lean my 120lbs against it - haven't actually tried climbing into it ;-) - and there is no give whatsoever. To conclude, I really don't think "chubby" is anywhere near enough to posing a threat to this cat tree!

It would work for a 15 lb cat but it may not last long. Got one when I first got to kittens it was great. About a yr later my kittens now grown to 12-13lb cats were too much and the upper tree area broke. Not enough support. As the cat runs up the tree it will bend the top part and with their weight eventually break . My cats have there front claws as well and shredded this thing in about a yr. I would say if u have a cat with claws spend a little more and get a cat tree that is sturdier and all the legs wrapped with that rope. Just my thought
