Is this sturdy enough for a cat to jump on the top shelf without it falling down or folding, assuming it's placed against a wall?

Yes it is sturdy, although if placed on carpeting it may wobble a bit if you have padding under the carpet.

That is a big MAYBE. I have two cats, whom are not really allowed to jump on the two shelves that I have. I have seen them on the second from the bottom shelf, but I have filled up the other shelves on purpose so that they don't want to get up there. One of the shelves wasn't aligned properly so I had to tweak it in order for it to fit properly with the groove. With the that being said, I've weighted to bottom shelf as much as possible just in case the cats insist on climbing it, and neither of them have tipped over yet. I hope that gives you a little insight :).

I think it would be fine as long as it's up against a wall and if the cat isn't to big!

Yes, my one cat does this regularly, because of the assembly of the shelves it is pretty sturdy. If your kitty is on the chubby side I would consider making sure it is well balanced, mine is indeed against a wall.

Yes. My cats jump directly on this, and climb on it, and it has never even slightly budged.

My 13 pound cat has no problem using this bed. It seems to be very sturdy, not wobbly at all. He does usually use the top, not the first one very often.

Very likely..it doesn't have a secure top. My cats knock it over. U have to have it perfectly level for it to stay well. It's fallen down a few times but hasn't broken. It's beautiful and very well made.

Gayle, my 13+ pound Norwegian Forest cat loves the top shelf! She fills the shelf, and yes it is sturdy enough! I keep the tree bungalow such that one side is always against the wall; it is not in the middle of the room. Besides, this tree bungalow is so heavy that once it is put together, it stays put! I hope this helps! Your cat will really like this tree bungalow, especially the built-in scratching posts and the feather toy accessories! The height is a very good height for cats; they can get a good view of the room from their vantage point at the top.

No, I don't believe this will support your cat's weight for climbing. The book case leans against the wall and can become wobbly if moved slightly. It isn't made for animals and climbing animals at that. I have a lamp on mine and when bumped into, the bookshelf can knock the lamp off of it.

Honestly, yes. The top isn't designed to hold any weight so if a heavy enough cat jumps on it, the sides will fold in. Has happened to me a few times. But, I think using these type of pens for introductions are much safer than just letting them roam and easier to deal with than a wire kennel or crate.

It's very secure and won't topple over. My cat runs fast at it, jumps, and scrambles up, dozens of times, and it hasn't moved on the hardwood floor.

Seems pretty sturdy I have a plant on top shelf. I have it behind my couch and my 9lb cat jumps on it without any problems. I have a large glass ornament on another shelf and knick knacks on the other.

Shelves are extremely sturdy. We have many books and even with our cat jumping on it, it remains very sturdy.

This isn't attached to a wall or floor, so if you have a determined jumper, they will probably be able to get over it. Overall, it's very sturdy, though. I have a 60 lb basset hound that tried once or twice to push it over or go around but he gave up and hasn't tried since. We've had it almost a year with no issues. We use it on carpet. Might move or slide more on smooth floors.

Free standing, definitely not. I tried leaning it against the wall and the base still wasn't heavy enough keep it from being pulled down when my cat tried to scratch. He does really like it, though. I drew him in by putting toys and treats on the ledge when it's hung vertically.

Eh, I don't think it would topple but it does wobble a bit when my big cat jumps up to get on the box top (below the "beds" at the tip top). I ended up pushing mine into a corner to brace it. Mine sits on a hardwood floor.

Yes it is sturdy...our youngest cat who weighs about 10 lbs jumps from the floor to the top perch and it has never faltered. As far as soft - there is a soft covering on it but no padding.

Not while either of my 2 cats were in it, but they do occasionally slide and need to be re-positioned. My one cat is pretty heavy (14 lbs) and jumps up onto it, so don't think this would happen with a lighter cat or if the perch is situated low enough for the cat to just walk onto it. Both my cats love this perch!!

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.

It has plenty of room and it's very sturdy. The mesh netting is pretty thick, but cats can jump so it might wind up jumping out of it. It is collapsible and folds down and can fit in a carrying case or under a bed/sofa so the cat could push on it and get over the top. There is a covering you can zip on it, but I haven't used that yet so I don't know how well is will work.
