I have a 19 lb. beagle and he has absolutely no problem with these stairs. They are sturdier enough to accommodate heavier animals than that, even. They are sturdy, hard plastic--easy to assemble--and they SAVED Bentley when he suffered a leg injury and couldn't get up there by himself. Highly recommended product. It is thirteen inches high at the tallest part.

We have a dog about that same weight. He did not like to use these steps because of the sloped steps. I don't think your cat's weight would be any problem, but I don't know how cats feel (psychologically) about going up/down sloped steps. As for dimensions, they're 17" deep, 14" wide, but the height varies, For the first step, the front edge is 5" high and the back edge is 6.5" high. The top step is 11.5" at the front edge and 13" high at the back. Hope this helps!

I have a very active Yorkshire terrier who is 8 pounds. I have had no problems with it withstanding his leaps up the stairs onto his cedar chest to look out a window. I have it at 13 inches high. It appears to be made out of studier recycled plastic, easy to put together and has carpet treads on the steps which are removable. the carpet allows them to get a grip on the steps as they go up and down. this will probably handle it for your cat. If you want a higher one they make it with an additional step added. It also supports more weight. I think the one I have goes to 25 lbs.

I bought this for my 40 lb Basset Hound and she uses it all the time. It's about a foot and a half high. She uses it to get on and off of the couch. The steps aren't steep, so your cat should be able to use them. It's too short to use for a bed, though. They make a 4 step one that I bought for my bed. They work great too.

Mine are 25 pound dogs, so I'm not sure about your cat. It says it takes up to 40 lbs or something. the height is listed on Amazon, but it reaches an average couch.

Hi, I can't answer that question, I don't know your cats condition. There is a ramp, but my cats always climb on the side and don't use it.

My cat is 7lbs and it works great for her. She did break on of the branches off the first day she had it (and was smaller then). It is pretty sturdy but I don't know if it would be good for a 15 lb cat. It is over 6 ft tall if completely assembled.

I got the 20 inch for my cats. They can stretch out while in the bed. One of my cats is 17 pounds and the other is 14 pounds. I had the 16 inch bed for another cat and she fix in it just fine. She had to curl up to fit in it.

The steps are for my 5 lb cat who hardly uses them. They are on carpeting and do not move at all....for a lightweight cat. But they are very nice looking and well made.

The resting area of the steps is about 12" x 8". The actual step is about 4" longer but that space is where the step connects to the post. A cat that is not too large would be able to rest on the steps (no Maine Coons!). Ditto with the top.

I have the tan/navy blue one with the house on the second level and only one perch. The base is rectangular. My one-yr old male is now about 12lbs or so and he hangs off the perch when he sleeps on it. When he throws himself at it and jumps up the poles (like a tree) it does wobble a little. I would imagine that if your 2 big kitties were playing on it it would wobble. I would say either place it against a wall for support or look for one of the models with a very large base. If they are calm cats and just climb up slowly to sleep on it it probably wouldn't move but my guy lunges at it.

Vger - It would be sturdy enough for a cat of that size, but the resting area at the top might be a bit tight. The bed part is not as large as I had hoped it would be, and my cats never used that area. They did, however, use the steps quite a bit.

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.

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 a 21 pound male and he makes it through. It's close but he doesn't have trouble getting thru. He's just a big cat not fat so that might make a difference. Of course I'm not saying you have a fat kitty, but if it's more round than tall it might be tight.difference

Megan, Our cat Magilla is a large Orange Tabby weighing in at about 14 lbs. He is also quite long. The problem would not be with the weight of your cat it would be with its overall size. Magilla has a bit of a tough time making the turn at each shelf because of the length of both he and the shelf itself. But it just slows him down a little while going up and down. We also have the unit attached directly to a wall with lag bolts as opposed to hanging from a door. I think with the size of your cat on the unit on a door might be a problem without some kind of additional support. I hope this helps!

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.

The top platforms are small. I have 2 male cats that are about 18 lbs and neither one would get up there. Also, the upper box is too small for an 18 lb cat to fit into. They can barely fit into the lower box. Lastly, the third layer was too crowded with the 3 upper platforms and the little box. I removed the top 3 platforms, their supporting columns, and the little top box and now my cats can at least get up on the 3rd layer. I also removed the two ramps, as the cats weren't using them and they got in the way of the 2nd layer. Sorry that I don't have explicit sizes for you, but I removed the items you asked about.

I am sorry for your cat, we have a 12-year old who has a hard time getting up on the bed. She uses the stair one that has steps, but for some reason she does not like this one. It is a great product, well made and sturdy, but maybe it is too steep

No, my cat is fairly big and she refuses to get in the beds. It is super tipsy and scared her the first time she tried to jump up. Plus the beds are small. I do, however, love the posts. They are easy for my cat to get to to scratch on.

These steps are more narrow and steep than they look on this picture. They do not have a good graduated incline. They tend to go straight up with narrow steps. If it is a small pet like a puppy or kitten maybe it would do. I ordered it for my 16 pound cat older cat who was having trouble jumping on the bed. It did not work at all for her. I honestly just don't think they will work for most pets. It has been the only item I have EVER sent back to Amazon. I see you are just looking for a replacement COVER for your step. If it is a cover for the steps, I really do not know. Sorry.
