I know my 12 lb. persian would love the top shelf but is it large enough and sturdy enough so he won't fall off? 12x13 seems pretty small.

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.

My 17 lb. tuxedo loves the top shelf, and he can curl up on it. One caveat: be sure to retighten the bolts every couple of weeks; otherwise, the tree can get a little wobbly.

My 13 pound kitty fits up there just fine. She either perches on it to look out the window or curls up and sleeps up there.

Hi, my cat is a smallish 8-lb. Siamese. He fits just fine, and I think your cat would too, but he might not have a lot of room to turn around. I had it on a wood floor, and my husband moved it to a room with carpeting, which makes it more stable. It's not wobbly, but it does have a little give to it. My cat likes it. Good luck!

Sorry for the delay in responding---away on vacation. You are correct in your estimation about the size of the 12x13 top shelf. Our 8 pound cat uses the entire space and generally has limbs hanging over the sides. So, she barely fits but loves being up there anyway. She almost fell off once but seems to have adjusted to the limited space.

My largest cat is 10 lbs. and he doesn't go to the top level; he seems to like a little larger area to relax on. However, I have seen my two 7+ lb cats snuggled together sleeping on the top. We have had our unit for several months and it is structurally sound.

If you are buying the lid with it, it may be too small. He might be able to see over the top of it a bit while sitting up but laying down theres plwnty of space. I bought mine for my dogs when I wasnt homw because they would destroy the house. My chibuahua climbed right out of it and my dachson mix with lab would jump right out. After training them to stay in, they are fine but at first they would get out of it.

the door to this one is a bit flimsy and there is a gap at the bottom. If he is the type to try to escape I probably wouldn't trust this one! I have another large crate made by Petmate that is very sturdy. I would probably go with that brand. And you might want to go with a larger size. My largest dog is 55 pounds.

It is sturdy. My 12 lb ragdoll uses the steps but not the top bed area anymore. When he stretches he has fallen out of it a couple of times so he does not go in the bed. I have seen a mega cat tree but the price is too high. He looks out my family room window and watches the birds and squirrels from the step are. Hope this helps.

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.

Agreed, mine has never toppled, and that's with two big 95 lb. dogs eating out of it at the same time. The legs lock into place very securely and the whole thing is pretty robust, it's not some flimsy, cheaply made stand. It's really great for traveling too.

Well, I think that the weight should be no problem, because one of my cats is 12 pounds. I'm looking at my cat, and I think he is more or less 10 inches tall, so I would say yes, it would work for your dog. Just remember, that he/she wont be able to stand in the carrier, but the dog should fit comfortably. Friendly reminder, if you test it and it does not work for you... you can always return it. Oh... before I bought it, I checked it out at a local Petco. They do sell the same one, but it's around $70... So if you want to check out the size before buying it, you should be able to find it in a Petco. Didn't see this one in Petsmart.

Yes, my cat is 12 lbs is there is more than enough space to turn around. Also, it is very sturdily made. The top opening makes it very easy to put the cat into the kennel.

Yes, our cat is small and she can go from tier to tier with out a problem. How ever your 12lb cat may rock the top of the tower. I recommend not installing the cylinder to the top, as it makes the structure unstable.

It seems like it would be sturdy enough, but I'm not sure if it would be big enough. We have a 13 lb cat and it fits him about right, but he doesn't have much extra space.

I think so. I have 6 cats, Sampson, my persian is the largest and he's about 18 lbs. I have seen at least 3 of my cats on the bungalow at one time. When I put them together, I was afraid the bungalow might tip if I had more than one cat on the bungalow at one time so I put one in the corner of the kitchen and a second one in a corner of the living room. If you decide to get this, make sure where ever you decide to construct it is where you want this bungalow to be, it is extreme HEAVY to move!

Sorry, I gave the perch to my son & he still has not mounted it for his 3 Persians, who weigh 8 - 12 lbs each. Try contacting Jackson Galaxy. He had the wave perches on his show.

I would, especially if she isn't full grown. My lab is now 105lbs and it held him up well. He loves floating!

This will be big enough in all likelihood, but not sturdy enough. A hyper puppy already that weight might try to use it as a backstop and jump on it when running around... I doubt it takes much of that sort of punishment.

Yes. My chocolate lab loves this bed. He is an old guy (12 & 110 lbs) and has a hard time getting up and down. It washes well and is holding its shape. I just wish it was bigger.

You might have to put some weight on the bottom of it if your cat is large because it's a little wobbly. All of the legs are the same size it's just the bottom support is too small. I have mine up against the wall for added support but it still rocks if my cat climbs up the side of it & not up the supports. I'm not sure if a 13 lb cat will fit on top. Mine is about 8 lbs & she takes up most of the space.
