I have 2 large cats, ones 21lbs and the other is between 15-18lbs. Wondering if this cat tree will be able to handle my two cats and not fall apart?

My two are about eight and ten pounds each, and to me, they are just the right size for it. If they were any larger I would think they would need a tree that's shorter and wider so more stable, IMHO

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 a cat that is about 10lbs. She likes to go to the very top. If my dogs chase her she'll run up to the top but shaking it. But if your cats just goes up slowly in a way they are not being chased I think it might just work. Sometimes you'll have to screw it tightly once in a while.

yes it would handle your cat, my is 10 lbs. and he is a big cat and he gives it a good work out it is built tough and the poles are great for those sharp

Hi Diana, we have 3 cats, 2 are around 20lb, the other is 16lb they have all slept on it at the same time without it falling apart but it does wobble, especially when one jumps off. They've obviously used small cats in the photo's as the larger cat only fits in the lower cubby and they all hang over the sides of the top pads when sleeping but it doesn't bother them. We are happy with our purchase as it gives the cats somewhere to sleep, also we put their food up there to keep away from the dogs!

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 have three cats, two of them weigh between 12 - 13 lbs each. The third cat is smaller. All three cats play and lounge on the cat tree at the same time. It is very sturdy, no worries about weight limit.

To answer your question about three kitties fitting, I would say no because they couldn't really move around much. My two cats are around 13-14 lbs each, I shoved them in there together but they weren't amused. Mine like to turn around and look out back if something is interesting. The other reason it won't do well for all of them at once is the bottom sort of sags a little, with three you would need one that would accommodate more weight. Look for one a little bigger.

This tree is huge and very sturdy! I think your cats would do great with this one!

I have a 22 lb cat and as long as it's on carpet or on a small rug, it won't fall over. He climbs and jumps on it all the time. I've had 2 cats snuggle on it before as well. I also have the little cat 'tree' next to a wall in case it falls over, but it's never hit the wall. Hope this helps!

Mine has never toppled over. The base is wide and heavy so it doesn't move. When my cats were younger and jumped off of the top it would sometimes pop out. I was able to solve that with two small strips of velcro. Its a great cat tree. I have had it for years and it still looks brand new.

I have 3 big kittys about 20 lbs each and they love this tree. I had a problem with the toys on a string they came right off but it is durable enough that they play rough on it. I clean it with regular soap and water and sometimes a carpet cleaner and a sponge

It might be ok, and certainly would be a stylish cat tree! If it's for a larger adult cat, it won't work as well as it would for a kitten or a smaller cat; the slope doesn't allow for a large cat to transition up and down easily. I'll say, thought, that this is a very stable piece of furniture, well worth the dollars, and easy to put together!

I have a couple of 14 lb cats and two very active yearlings. They seem to do very well on the tree, it's sturdy and they love it. I also have a nearly blind cat who I have had to rescue a couple of times from the top of the cat tree. He likes the climb too.

I think it will last. However, I don't like the cat tree as a whole. The platforms aren't big enough for larger cats, it's a bit wobby on top, and some of the pieces didn't fit together correctly.

Hello,The 17 pound cat will fit by itself, but not with the second cat unless they are both really good at curling up together, or they both sit upright. However, I think the combined weight would be too much for the carrier.My cat is 17 pounds and I don't think the structural integrity of the carrier would take much more weight.

I would say Yes but it may be a little tight on room. Both of our cats are 13 pounds each. It holds one with no problem, and weight wise, it will hold both easily, but not a lot of room to turn around.

I can't answer from experience, as my cat is more sedate than rowdy. But when I myself push at the tree, it is hard to push over. The bottom is so wide in comparison with the top, that being pushed over seems unlikely to me. This is not a flimsy cat tree, it is sturdy. I say: give it a go!

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.

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.

Hi Michelle. No it is not just for kittens. We bought ours for our 2yr old tuxedo. She is 9lbs and loves it! About six months ago we added another cat to our family. They both enjoy it and it's held up pretty well. We've had the tree for 1yr. Cats are now 3yrs old 9lbs and 10mos 7lbs. Both are lively and use the tree often for climbing, sleeping, jumping and running.

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.
