Does the tower wobble easily when the cat jumps off? i have a 10 pound cat

Our cat is 6 months old, about 5 pounds. Certainly no wobbling at that age. The base of the tower is relatively secure. My 7 year old son, about 40+ pounds, occasionally climbs on it when I'm not looking...and it has not toppled or wobbled overly much.

It is a bit light weight. My 10-12 lbs cats use it more then my 15-16 lbs ones do. It moves some when they jump onto it.

I have never had that problem, even with a very fat cat who likes to lie on the top. I suspect that the stability of my tower is enhanced by being pushed up against a wall... I just went out and checked my tower and I am not able to "collapse" it without picking it up and pushing the ends of the cross pieces together. The way it's constructed, I can't figure out how it could collapse on it's own, as the cloth across the top and bottom prevents collapse. However, it might be pretty easy for a cat to knock it over, which is why I also have the side against a flat piece of furniture. My cats still use it to sleep on top and they use the scratcher and occasionally swat at the balls, but the novelty of the hiding place has worn off completely.

We bought this when we first rescued our cat and he only weighed 8 pounds. He had no problems cimbing on it and laying on the top perch. He has since "filled out" to 12 pounds. He can still climb to the top but it is a little trickier. Sometimes the tower has almost toppled over when he jumps on it. If your cat is 3 pounds heavier this might not be the best one for him...

Yes. My two cats have no problem fitting in and out of the houses on the tower or running up to it and jumping all the way to the top It does shake a little when they climb up it. its held up great to the abuse they put on it. They love it and I would recommend this to everyone

It is quite sturdy. As stated in my review a couple of my cats will run and jump on it and jump off. I have several cats and have only seen it knocked over once. That was due to rough playing. Normal scratching should not be an issue. It is on the heavy side as well.

We have the jumper on carpet and it does not wobble. My baby loves jumping and I have not been worried.

Yes. It is very stable if left alone, but if a cat jumped onto it, it could be knocked over.

Yes. Both of my cats have jumped on and off of it repeatedly and it's never budged even the slightest bit.

I have a twenty pound cat who runs and jumps up the ladder. The tree does not move. Once put together, it is very heavy.

No, not at all. We have 6 very active cats, two of them over 15 lbs. They all scratch and jump up on it and it's never toppled once, even when they are all running around playing together. It's a very sturdy item.

I had to put my cat in the top basket, to try to get her used to it. But eventually she kept jumping down, which is a foot drop down to the floor. Plus since my cat's full grown, the middle flat tier kept tipping over; so its not that reliable if propped up properly. Eventually I took my top tier basket down since she never slept in it; & my cat tore the heck out of the top scratching post. But my cat still likes to jump up on the rest of the cat pole.

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 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.

yes, I do. I have two cats, one about 15 lbs and the other about 12 lbs. They climb and jump all over it and haven't broken it yet

The tower is pretty sturdy. My 3 cats have been on at the same time. Two on the very top one on the second level. 15 lbs is pretty heavy though. Both my cats might be under that weight combined.

I have 20 lb, 15 lb, and 7 lb cats who chase each other up and down mine and no platform has ever broken. There must of been a defect when you received it. I would contact www.gopetclub.com for more information on how to resolve this issue!
